LabView 2016 - Time chart with intensity colours for echosounder multiple echoes

[HMeland]

Hello LabView community,

I'm trying to create a time chart plot where I can plot multiple echoes read from an echosounder. For the data I have 10 echoes for each measurement, and each echo have a correlation value describing the quality of the reading - ordered in arrays of doubles. As the echoes can be bouncing everywhere I'd rather not have the order of the plots determine the colours, but rather the related correlation reading for the echo. I've looked at intensity charts and graphs, as I thought this would be the natural starting point, but I've not really found any solution to be working.

Suggestions on how I can go about implementing this? Any help greatly appreciated.

All the best,

It is not clear to me how many "dimensions" your plot entails.  Do you have a sample (a "picture" here would be fine) of the type of "echosounder" plot you are trying to produce?

When I think of a plot of "responses from an echo" (in response to a single sound stimulus), it seems (to me -- I don't normally do this type of study) that the "recorded response" (or "echo") can arrive at multiple times and can have multiple characters (for example, total intensity/loudness/power, peak intensity/loudness/power, spectrum, duration, and possibly others I'm not considering).  Such a plot for a single stimulus is probably at least a 2D plot (unless response time is the only parameter of interest), so how you plot multiple stimuli is a question.

Any Echo-meisters out there?

First make sure you use the right terminology.. If you have all data at the start of the analysis, you need a graph, not a chart.

It is not clear at all how your (intensity) graph would look like, but you can simply treat it as a 2D canvas of pixels, where the value determines the color. (example). With a little bit of effort, you can draw anything.

Can you give us an example how your display should look like? (link? image?)
