I am using the VISA pallete to acquire array of amplitude values (100 values) from CCS C compiler. Using this array, how would I generate a sine wave? I have attached what I have so far. Help would be much appreciated!

You need to explain what you are trying to do. Right now you are calculating the sine of your acquired data, is it what you want?
You will only get a 'sine wave' out of this if your acquired data is a ramp signal of some kind. Also your converted data is integer, so probably not a good resolution to use as input to a sine function. What is you data range and what are these 'amplitudes' representing? What is your end goal?

So, I have connected a microcontroller (pic18f6722) to the function generator. I have set the ampltude to 4.5V and the freq to 60 Hz on the function generator. If i were to connect the function generator to an oscilloscope I see a unipolar sine wave with an offset of 2.25V. I basically want to recreate that sine wave on labview. I have written code to collect the values of the sine wave and now I have used the VISA palletes to get the array of values in labview and make a graph out of it.

Hi beginner,
I basically want to recreate that sine wave on labview.
I have written code to collect the values of the sine wave and now I have used the VISA palletes to get the array of values in labview and make a graph out of it.
And what's your problem when you already have written code?
01-11-2017 08:35 AM
Thanks for the reply! And the code is over at CCS C and since I am a begineer at serial communication and labview I had some trouble generating a sine wave. I came close but the wave looked like a step function.

and it still doesn't explain why you are calculating the sine of your data (sine of sine if you original data already represents a sine wave). Could you at least post a data file with 'Voltages' values so we understand what you are acquiring?

I have attached an excel sheet with the voltage values acquired. For the time, it starts at 333us because that was the delay i used over at CCS C compiler. The graph shown in the excel sheet should be the graph i should be getting in labview

ok, get it. Your data consists of your sine tone data but I guess you do not read the time array.
If you extracted the two columns in your spreadsheet and created X (time) Y(Voltages) data arrays then you could graph it on a LabVIEW XY graph and get the same look as in your spreadsheet.
In your actual VI I would suggest you to try the following (to start with)
1 - Remove the sine primitive
2 - Replace the Decimal String to Number primitive in your FOR look with a Fract/Exp String to Number
3 - Graph the array out of your FOR loop directly to a waveform graph
If it looks like a sine tone, then you can move on and work on the time information (dt)

I only extracted the voltages from labview. I just used the time on excel to see how the graph would look like. How would I create a time array?
01-11-2017 09:34 AM
From your XLS it looks like you are sampling at 3 kS/s (dt = 0.33 ms).
Use the Build Waveform (Waveform palette) and input 1/3000 to the dt terminal and your data array to the Y terminal and graph it (likewise on a Waveform Graph).
If you can't get it to work, try to post you Voltage string array with saved values so we can check your string formatting.
