Data Sources- Polar Plot

Vectors are comprised of Phase, Magnitude, and Frequency vectors.  The vectors can be read from a data file, defined as mathematical expressions, or entered as values.  The vectors of a curve do not have to come from the same source.  For instance, the data source for the Phase and Magnitude vectors of a curve can be an ASCII file and the source for the Frequency vector of the same curve can be defined by an expression such as 0:100:1.

hmtoggle_plus1greyFiles as a Data Source

If File is selected as the source, the file panel is displayed, allowing you to select data files for the vectors.

file_as_source_polar

File selected as the data source for a vector
hmtoggle_plus1greyMath as a Data Source

If Math is selected as the source, the curve calculator is displayed, allowing you to define the vector mathematically.

math_as_data_source_polar Math selected as the data source for a vector.

NoteSee Curve Calculator for more information on defining vectors mathematically and signal processing.
hmtoggle_plus1greyValues as a Data Source

If Values is selected as the source, a table is displayed that allows you to directly enter data point values.

values_as_a_data_source_polar

Value selected as the data source for a vector.

You can cut, copy, paste, and insert data point values to the table.  Click the expansion button, exp-button, to view a larger dialog containing all x and y data points.

How do I...

hmtoggle_plus1Set the vector source to File:
1.From the Plot module menu, select Polar Plot.
2.From the Define Curves panel, select the Phase, Magnitude, or Frequency radio button.
3.Under Source, select File.
4.Click the file browser to select a file with complex and frequency results.

The reader designates complex results marked with a PHA (Phase), MAG (Magnitude), REL, or IMG.

HyperGraph 2D populates the default Type, Request, and Component fields.

By default, HyperGraph 2D sets the plot Type field to Vector Plot.  You can change the plot Type: to Pha/Mag Plot or Radar Plot.  The components also have complex labels. HyperGraph 2D disables the Frequency field.

HyperGraph 2D disables the Format: toggle when you select Radar Plot.

5.You can define the data Type, Request, Component, and Subcase fields.
6.You can define the Format field on the right to specify whether the data is real/imaginary or phase/magnitude.

HyperGraph 2D changes the Phase = and Magnitude = field labels to Real = and Imaginary = when the Format entry is defined or changed.

HyperGraph 2D does not change the axis labels in the Plot window to Real/Imaginary like it does for complex plots

7.Click Apply or press ENTER.

HyperGraph 2D plots the curves.
hmtoggle_plus1Use math as a data source:
1.From the Define Curves panel, under Source, select Math.
2.Define the vector using the curve calculator to create a mathematical expression.

 

Use values as a data source.

Cut data point values.

Copy and paste data point values.

Insert data point values.
