"Generate Series"

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.
