LabVIEW
Help with completion of Accelerometer and Heel force VI please
Mark,
I looked at your VI and offer the following comments:
1. The for loops which generate the arrays of 1000 points in steps of 0.01 are identical. Eliminate one and wire the output of the other to both Bundle nodes.
2. Consider replacing those for loops with the Ramp Pattern.vi from the Signal Processing >> Signal Generation palette.
3. Those arrays never change. Generate them one time outside the loop and wire the result into the loop.
4. Avoid the use of controls/indicators with empty labels. It makes it much harder to determine what is what on the BD. If you do not want the labels shown on the FP, you can uncheck the Label item in the Visible items menu.
5. Avoid the use of Express VIs when standard LV primitves and functions will do. This gets rid of the Dynamic Data Type which obscures the data and makes the diagram much more readable (no need to open a dialog to find out what the Express VI does. The images below show your VI above and my modification below.
6. Try to keep panels to the size of one screen. Scrolling around to see what is going on can be confusing to users. Tab controls and subpanels can be useful for grouping indicators/controls in a logial and easy to see manner.
I have attached my modifications. I did very little testing so some of the things I changed may not fucntion exactly as your originals.
