Describes a surface in 3D with two variables running over two different intervals. Details
![]() |
number of points describes the number of grid points for both variables. The default is 25. |
![]() |
Start are the start points of both variables, that is, an array of length 2. The default values are (0,0). |
![]() |
End are the end points of both variables, that is, an array of length 2. The default values are (1,1). |
![]() |
Formulas is an array of three strings describing the three functions. Each of the functions represents a component of the surface under investigation. |
![]() |
Variables is an array of two strings representing the two variables with respect to the naming conventions of the Formula VIs. The default variables are (t1, t2). Refer to Formula VI Variables for more information about valid variables. |
![]() |
X is the array of the x values at the grid points defined by the parameters. |
![]() |
Y is the array of the y values at the grid points defined by the parameters. |
![]() |
Z is the array of the z values at the grid points defined by the parameters. |
![]() |
error returns any error or warning condition from the VI. |
![]() |
ticks is the time effort for the whole calculation of the function values in milliseconds. |
The three formulas
describe a part of the unit sphere in 3D. In the Formulas control, only the right hand side of the above three equations needs to be entered.
