Complete the following steps to build a VI that plots a circle
using independent
![]() |
XY Graph, located on the
Controls>>All Controls>>Graph palette, on
the front panel.
XY Circle Graph.
Plot 0 to Circle in the
plot legend.
Point Style from the shortcut menu, and
select the small square.
![]() |
Sine & Cosine function,
located on the Functions>>Arithmetic &
Comparison>>Express Numeric>>Express
Trigonometric palette, on the block diagram. This
function builds an array of points that represents one
cycle of a sine wave and a cosine wave.
Bundle function, located on the
Functions>>All Functions>>Cluster palette,
on the block diagram. This function assembles the sine
array and the cosine array to plot the sine array
against the cosine array to produce a circle.
Place the Pi Multiplied by 2 constant,
located on the Functions>>Arithmetic &
Comparison>>Express Numeric>>Express Numeric
Constants palette, on the block diagram.
Graph Circle.vi in the
C:\Exercises\LabVIEW Basics I directory.
