  • 3-3-2019 Health and Equality

    This Week I jumped into the water with a distribution plot and found one of my old friends, the picture control. I have used the polar plot UI control for a previous project. I remember how I had to use the “drivers”, or the SubVI library, and recreate my own SubVI’s for my particular functionality…

  • 2-25-2019 Declining UK Bike Sales

    This weeks data set from Data.World was a nice yearly trend showing declining bike sales, a seemingly straight forward data set. I figured I’d use a Front Panel control that I’ve never used, really, I’ve never noticed it sitting there, hiding innocuously on the graph pallet. Big Mistake. UI Functionality The idea was to have…

    This week I focused on using an intensity chart, which I have not used previously. It is an interesting way to display data, not sure if I am a big fan or not. I like that it can show three sets of data, but it was not as friendly as I thought t would be.…

  • 1-28-2019 The Digital Economy and Society Index

    This week I got stuck on business travel for five days, so I got a late start on the Data.World data set. I cut off on Tuesday, giving myself two extra days. UI Functionality I wanted to use a knob and a XY graph. The data set is challenging because there are five “dimensions”, or…

  • 1-21-2019 10 Downing Street Energy

    10 Downing Street energy usage, the new data set for Makeover Monday. For this week I decided to use a waveform graph. For the Data.World crowd, a waveform graph in LabVIEW will take and display a data type called a waveform. This data type, a container of sorts, contains a starting date/time, the time interval…
