How do I plot average sensor values against a constant array (length positions)?

[jasonjps]

I have 7 microphones from which I'm taking the RMS value.  They are physically in a line and I'd like to plot their values vs. their positions.  How do I do think.  I'm assuming I'll need to use the XY plot, but I'm not sure how to turn 7 signals into a single array and how to create an array of constants for the positions.

I don't know if I could catch your point, but I tried to buid a vi to plot 7 mic inputs as each mic was related to an specific X position. In the next while cycle, new mic values will be plotted offseted by the lenght of the arangement.

Well, I hope this helps you.

Could you post that again as an earlier version?  I only have Labview 8.2 and it's not letting me open the newer version file.

[leonardolt]

Ok, try this one.

Huh, interesting, I'll see if I can integrate them.  I've never used those two elements right before the XY graph.  I found the first to be a "bundle" object, what's the second?

[leonardolt]

You are right. The first one is a "bundle". The second is a "build array", found in the array palette.

So, the idea of the vi is the folowing:

 Seven (or any other number) mic signals are read every while cycle. There are also sever position indexers, which value depends on yous assembly.

XY graph's input is a 1D array of a cluster composed of X and Y values. So, each mic signal is combined with its equivalent X position index. Finaly, all seven clusters of mic+position are jinted together in an array that is used as the imput os XY graph.

As I said before, I'm not sure if this is what you need. If it isn't, feed me back and I'll try to help you again.

I think I've got it,  there's a lot of conversions though.  Do you see any way I could simplify this, or is this as simple as I'm going to get?  I've included my file with the post.

It seem that your vi is well simplifyed. You could group the matrix operation in a for loop, but I really dont't think it is necessary, specialy because doing that you will force your system to run a serialized structure and LV can lead to a great performance on parallel task. To get a clean layout you could think on putting that large cluster and matrix operations on a sub vi. That would give you a realy clean and straight layout.

Oops, I meant to accept leonardalt's answer as the solution, not my own post.   I scanned for .vi links thinking his was the last one on the thread.
