Update Plot VI

LabVIEW 2011 Robotics Module Help

Edition Date: June 2011

Part Number: 372983B-01

»View Product Info

Owning Palette: Plots VIs

Requires: Robotics Module

Returns a 3D scene with the 3D object that represents a robotic arm. You must use the Initialize Plot VI to initialize the 3D object before you call this VI for the first time.

You can use this VI in a loop with shift registers to update the joint positions of the robotic arm in the 3D object and display the motion of the arm between poses.

Example

serial arm in is a reference to a serial robotic arm. Use the Serial Arm Definition VIs to generate this LabVIEW class object.
joint positions contains the joint angles with which to update the 3D object.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
serial arm out is a reference to a serial robotic arm. You can wire this output to other Robotic Arm VIs.
serial arm scene returns a reference to the 3D scene object that contains the simulated robotic arm. Wire this output to the 3D picture control to add a 3D picture control to the front panel window and view the 3D scene.
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Example

Refer to the Robot Arm Examples.lvproj in the labview\examples\robotics\Robotic Arm directory for an example of using the Update Plot VI.
