Calculates the values of a function (f(t), g(t)), where t runs over an interval. Both components are given by Formulas. The t-values are chosen equidistantly in the interval.

To obtain more accurate output values, consider using the Eval X-Y(t) Optimal Step VI.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cu32.png number of points —

    number of points is the number of all calculated points. The independent variable is split into equidistant subpoints. The default is 10.

  • cdbl.png start —

    start is the start point of the interval. The default is 0.0.

  • cdbl.png end —

    end is the end point of the interval. The default is 1.0.

  • c1dstr.png Formulas —

    Formulas is an array of two strings describing the two function components f(t) and g(t). The formula can contain any number of valid variables.

  • i1ddbl.png X —

    X is the array of the values of the first component, r(phi)cos(phi).

  • i1ddbl.png Y —

    Y is the array of the values of the second component, r(phi)sin(phi).

  • iu32.png ticks —

    ticks is the time in milliseconds to analyze the formula and to produce the X and the Y array.

  • ii32.png error —

    error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster.

    • The functions t*sin(t), sqrt((t)*cos(t)) describe a curve in the plane, with t ranging between (0, 12). The following illustration shows this curve.

    Enter the data on the front panel as shown:

    • number of points: 100
    • start: 0
    • end: 12
