"Generate Series"

Katharina_Morik

I want to generate some series so that I can illustrate transformations, visualizations etc. However, the operator Generate Series (Sinus) and as well the Generate Data (Series) successfully deliver 0 single attributes / series, the value dimension is 0 and so I don't see anything.
How can I get 1 or 2 attributes that change over time?
Can I tell, how 2 sine curves should be combined to form a more interesting cure?
???

Thanks in advance!

It does not work either, to generate data and the use Data To Series or Transform to Series -- still no series data and no visualization...

Hi Katharina,

you don't need the Visualize Series operator, just connect the series data to the process output, and in the standard results view you can inspect the series data: just switch from Meta Data View to Plot View, and in the upper left select dim_1 from the list.

To superpose 2 sine curves, you have to enable expert mode, then you can configure the frequency and amplitude of each component in the frequency parameter of the Generate Series (Sinus) - see process below.

You may have to update your Series Extension to the latest version 5.3.0.
