Bode magnitude plot returns the Bode magnitude plot of the input signal. Bode magnitude plot is a plot on an XY graph that shows the linear or decibel magnitude of the given model plotted against a set of frequencies. Use the SI Bode Plot Indicator to display the Bode magnitude plot.

Bode phase plot returns the Bode phase plot of the input signal. Bode phase plot is a plot on an XY graph that shows the phase, in degrees, of the model plotted against a set of frequency values. Use the SI Bode Plot Indicator to display the Bode phase plot.

error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
SI Bode Plot Details
This VI computes the transfer function and frequency response function (FRF) for one input-output pair of a system model. This VI then presents the FRF as Bode magnitude and Bode phase plots. Bode magnitude plots display magnitude versus frequency, and Bode phase plots display phase versus frequency. Use the SI Bode Plot Indicator to display the Bode plots on the front panel window.
