A Pie chart from the CAN bus message IDs

The first example creates a PIE chart, showing the received CAN bus message IDs. The used script is shown below. The script

1. creates the members of a struct signal,
2. analyzes all in samples (read the id of the messages) and counts them in a dictionary
3. writes the counter values in the struct and finally into the output signal.

// input: an array of all input signals
// in0: primary input of type ISamplePointer,IReadableSamples
// in1..: additional inputs of type ISamplePointer,IReadableSamples
// out: output signal of type ITextSamplesWriter
// console: console output of type MessageConsoleStream
// iter: iterator of type ISamplesIterator
// progress: progess control of type  IScriptProgress

// struct signal
progress.cont();
if (members == null) {
    var members <:[Lde.toem.impulse.values.StructMember;:> = out.createMembers(7);
    out.createMember(members, 0, "12", ISample.STRUCT_TYPE_INTEGER, null, -1);
    out.createMember(members, 1, "24", ISample.STRUCT_TYPE_INTEGER, null, -1);
    out.createMember(members, 2, "61", ISample.STRUCT_TYPE_INTEGER, null, -1);
    out.createMember(members, 3, "62", ISample.STRUCT_TYPE_INTEGER, null, -1);
    out.createMember(members, 4, "Label", ISample.STRUCT_TYPE_TEXT, "LABEL", -1);

    var counter = {};

} else {
    out.close();
    out.open(0);
}

// analyze input
while (iter.hasNext()) {
    iter.next();
    var id = in1.intValueOf("Id");
    if (counter[id] == null)
        counter[id] = 1;
    else
        counter[id] = counter[id] + 1;
}

// create output
members[0].setIntValue(counter[12]);
members[1].setIntValue(counter[24]);
members[2].setIntValue(counter[60]);
members[3].setIntValue(counter[61]);
members[4].setStringValue("Messages");

out.write(0, false, members);

An XY chart from 2 separate integer signals

The second example shows how to create a XY chart from simple float or integer signals using the array combiner production. As the XY chart requires an array signal (float array or integer array containing the x and y values), the separate input signals need to be combined with the array combiner.
