I want to convert two waveforms into arrays and graph

[edmiles55]

I need to take data from two wave forms, which are essentially sine waves at this point, and convert them into 1-D arrays of numerics. Eventually I will take the voltages, amplituces, from these numerics and plot them against each other, but I cant get from the waveform into an array that I can manipulate.

Hello,

This is pretty straightforward--the waveform datatype is a special datatype that contains three main components: the t0 (initial time), the delta t (space between points), and a 1-d array of the Y-values of the waveform.  To access this array, simply use the Get Waveform Components function on the waveform to access the 1-D array. It's located in the Programming » Waveform palette in LabVIEW8.

You can use the "Get Waveform Components" VI to convert the waveform data types to 1-D arrays. For each waveform, the array of points will come out of the "Y" output of the get waveform components VI.

Hope this helps.
