Use the Waveform Generation VIs to generate different types of single and multi-tone signals, function generator signals, and noise signals.

The VIs on this palette can return waveform error codes.

Basic Function Generator VI
Creates an output waveform based on signal type.
Tones and Noise Waveform VI
Generates a waveform composed of a sum of sine tones, noise, and DC offset.
Formula Waveform VI
Creates an output waveform using a formula string to specify the time function to be used.
Sine Waveform VI
Generates a waveform containing a sine wave.
Square Waveform VI
Generates a waveform containing a square wave.
Triangle Waveform VI
Generates a waveform containing a triangle wave.
Sawtooth Waveform VI
Generates a waveform containing a sawtooth wave.
Basic Multitone VI
Generates a waveform that is the sum of integer cycle sine tones.
Basic Multitone with Amplitudes VI
Generates a waveform that is the sum of integer cycle sine tones.
Multitone Generator VI
Generates a waveform that is the sum of integer cycle sine tones.
Uniform White Noise Waveform VI
Generates a uniformly distributed pseudorandom pattern whose values are in the range [–a:a], where a is the absolute value of amplitude.
Gaussian White Noise Waveform VI
Generates a Gaussian distributed pseudorandom pattern whose statistical profile is (0,s), where s is the absolute value of the specified standard deviation.
Periodic Random Noise Waveform VI
Generates a waveform containing periodic random noise (PRN).
Inverse f Noise Waveform VI
Generates a continuous noise waveform with a power spectral density that is inversely proportional to frequency over a specified frequency range.
Gamma Noise Waveform VI
Generates a pseudorandom pattern of values which are the waiting times to the order number event of a unit mean Poisson process.
Poisson Noise Waveform VI
Generates a pseudorandom sequence of values which are the number of discrete events occurring in the interval specified by mean of a unit rate Poisson process.
Binomial Noise Waveform VI
Generates a binomially-distributed pseudorandom pattern whose values are the number of occurrences of an event given the probability of that event occurring and the number of trials.
Bernoulli Noise Waveform VI
Generates a pseudorandom pattern of ones and zeros, where the probability of generating a one is one probability and the probability of generating a zero is (1–one probability).
MLS Sequence Waveform VI
Generates a maximum length sequence of ones and zeros using a modulo-2 primitive polynomial of order polynomial order.
Simulate Signal
Simulates a sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, sawtooth wave, or noise signal.
Simulate Arbitrary Signal
Simulates a signal that you define.
