The Custom VI's for this experiment

Henonbifr.VI Illustrates bifurcation in one of the variables of the Henon map.

Henon.VI Iterates the Henon map

NLSim.VI Displays time-series, return maps, and Fourier spectrum of many simulated signals and an arbitrarily acquired signal

PNJunc1.VI Acquires and analyzes time-series data acquired from the PN junction

PNBifur.VI.

Quad.VI Iterates the quadratic map.

QuadBifr.VI Calculates the bifurcation diagram for the quadratic map.

Quad Bifur

This VI permits you to explore the Bifurcation diagram of the quadratic map. You can change the parameters to reveal the fine detail at the onset of chaos.
