Initialize Plot VI
Owning Palette: Plots VIs
Requires: Robotics Module
Initializes a 3D object that represents a robotic arm.
Use the Update Plot VI to return a 3D scene that displays the robotic arm. You also can use the Update Plot VI to update the joint angles of the robotic arm in the 3D object.

![]() |
serial arm in is a reference to a serial robotics arm. Use the Initialize Serial Arm VI to generate this LabVIEW class object. |
![]() |
scale specifies a factor by which to scale the lengths of links in serial arm in. The default is 1, which maintains the defined lengths of the links. |
![]() |
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. |
![]() |
serial arm out is a reference to a serial robotic arm. You can wire this output to other Robotic Arm VIs. |
![]() |
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
