Excel hysteresis loop sample data needed for testing in LV

[Patrick H.]

Im sorry if this is in the wrong board, but I didn't really know where else to put it. If someone has sample data for a hysteresis loop in excel or LVM format and could post it so I can test with it I would appreciate it greatly. Preferably a larger amount of sample points but I won't be picky.

Thanks

What kind of hysteresis data are you looking for?  Can you explain your application for it a little bit?

[Patrick H.]

Sarah,

A Force vs. Velocity hysteresis would be great. To be exact to my specific application, it would be compression and rebound of a shock absorber. It is a program that I am writing for data aquisition and analysis. This will be one of the results taken in from our test equipment and I need to see if all of my VIs and filters will respond properly to non-time dependant data.

Thanks

Hey Patrick,

Here's an example that generates hysteresis data.  We unfortunately don't have many data files stored here, but maybe you can use this to generate some.
