3dsurface plot labview 2011

[Sachindian]

Dear Sir,

I am using labview 2011, I am trying to get some idea from examples to get a 3d plot of the data i have. The data is array of X y and Z values obtained as a raster pattern.

I am tryinto run the examples but it gives and error

" Front panel terminal 3d graph: Type not supported in current target.

do i have to install some addon for getting 3d graph.

Is there any other way i can get a plot of my data. i want to show the variation in Z axis

Are you trying to use a 3D graph while targeting a real-time system? In the lower left hand corner of your front panel or block diagram window, make sure that "Main Application Instance" is selected.

Yes i am trying to plot a 3d curve of the data being acquired real time. I could do this once the data is acquired. I just want to plot the data to analyse the figure. I will be plotting it for my thesis so i might use another programs to plot it. But for now i need to analyse it real time or just after i acquired the signals so that i could repeat the experiments again if the data is not proper.

Hi Sachindia,

Sorry you are have problems with the example finder.

What is the name of the example file you are trying to run?

[Sachindian]

Dear Sir, I found out that i cant plot 3d  in real time.

I just want to represent something like the grid (see attached file) into a 2d plot as shown in index (attached file)

Could you direct me so some example code in which i can do it real time.

Regards

Sachin

Sachindia,

Try looking at an example called: 3D Surface Example - Fluctuating Sine Wave.vi
