Signal Generation

The generation of signals is an important part of any test or measurement system. The following applications are examples of uses for signal generation:

The LabWindows/CVI Advanced Analysis Library includes the following signal generation functions:

Function Description
ArbitraryWave Arbitrary waveform generation.
Chirp Generates a chirp signal.
GaussNoise Generates an array of random Gaussian numbers distributed with expected zero mean value and the standard deviation you specify.
Impulse Generates an array that has the pattern of an impulse waveform.
Pulse Generates an array that represents the pattern of a pulse waveform.
Ramp Generates an output array that represents a ramp pattern.
SawtoothWave Generates a saw-toothed waveform.
Sinc Generates a sinc pattern.
SinePattern Generates a sine pattern.
SineWave Generates a sine waveform.
SquareWave Generates a square waveform.
Triangle Generates a triangle pattern.
TriangleWave Generates a triangle waveform.
Uniform Generates an array of random numbers that are distributed uniformly between zero and one.
WhiteNoise Generates an array of random numbers that are uniformly distributed between -amp and amp, where amp is the amplitude of the noise.
