Last Modified: June 25, 2019

Calculates the coordinates of a curve by calculating function values of x = f(t) and y = g(t), where t runs over an interval.

This node produces more accurate output values than the Evaluate Parametric Equation (X-Y Linear) node.

Inputs/Outputs
Compatibility

epsilon

Value that controls the construction of points in the interval.

Default: 0.05

number of points

Number of values of the independent variable used initially in the function calculation.

Default: 10

formulas

An array of two strings representing f(t) and g(t). The formula can contain any number of valid variables.

Entering Valid Variables

This node accepts variables that use the following format rule: variables must start with a letter or an underscore followed by any number of alphanumeric characters or underscores.

start

Start value of the interval where this node starts calculating values.

Default: 0

end

End value of the interval where this node stops calculating values.

Default: 1

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error

If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

exclude end

Boolean that specifies whether this node uses the end value of the interval when calculating function values.

True	Does not use the end value when calculating function values.
False	Uses the end value when calculating function values.

Default: False

x

Values of the x-coordinates of the curve. The values are obtained by calculating the function values of f(t) in formulas.

y

Values of the y-coordinates of the curve. The values are obtained by calculating the function values of g(t) in formulas.

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error

If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Where This Node Can Run:

Desktop OS: Windows

FPGA: Not supported

Web Server: Not supported in VIs that run in a web application
