PDE Rendering Details

Before you use the PDE Rendering VI, use the PDE Solver VI to solve the equation.

The following block diagram illustrates how to set the scale offset and multiplier of PDE Plot by X Scale and Y Scale.

If you do not set the scale offset and multiplier, LabVIEW uses the default settings of the intensity graph.
