array data in formula node

I want to take the Y value (being the amplitute) from the input signal and put it into a formula node. I keep getting the error signal as in the attached VI. Is there a way of seperating the value in labview?

The output of the Express VI is dynamic data, which is an almost useless datatype (my opinion). If you want to convert it to some other datatype then you need to use the Convert From Dynamic Data function, specifying what to extract. What is X supposed to be?

The triangle wave is simulating the data that will be received from a string pot. So the amplitude is the displacement, when that exact displacment enters the formula node it will output a value of force at that exact point. This force value will be used and plotted against time to give me a force vs. time graph. Is this possible?

Hi Cork,

 

yes, it's possible! And WTH: you can do it without a formula node with ready-to-use functions!

It's a snippet! Fully explained in the LabVIEW help. Depending on your browser, you can either drag it directly to a block diagram or save it locally and then drag it.
