Takes data for a Smith plot and normalizes it, meaning that the data is scaled relative to a known value. Input is Z[0] and points given as either an array of clusters of two numbers (r and jx) or an array of complex numbers. If both arrays are not empty, the array of clusters is used. Details

normalized smith points {r,x} is an array of clusters of points containing the normalized data. Each cluster contains an r and an x value.

The data for the Normalize Smith Plot VI can be expressed as either an array of points, where each point is a cluster of an r and an x value, or an array of complex data. The VI detects which one of the data inputs is connected and uses it. If both are connected, then the VI normalizes the array of points.
This VI normalizes the data with respect to a specified characteristic impedance (Zo) of the system. Then it returns the resulting data as an array of clusters of points, where each cluster contains an r and an x value. You can pass the resulting normalized data directly to the Smith Plot VI.
