Use the NI-FGEN Arbitrary Waveform VIs to configure, define, and clear an arbitrary waveform.

niFgen Query Arb Waveform Capabilities VI
Returns the attributes of the signal generator that are related to creating arbitrary waveforms. These properties are the maximum number of waveforms, waveform quantum, minimum waveform size, and maximum waveform size.
niFgen Create Waveform (poly) VI
Takes the data provided and creates an onboard waveform of the same size for use in Arbitrary Waveform or Arbitrary Sequence output mode.
niFgen Configure Arbitrary Waveform VI
Configures the properties of the signal generator that affect arbitrary waveform generation. Selects the arbitrary waveform to produce and sets the gain and offset.
niFgen Clear Arbitrary Waveform VI
Removes a previously created arbitrary waveform from the signal generator memory and invalidates the waveform handle.
niFgen Clear Arbitrary Memory VI
Removes all previously created arbitrary waveforms, sequences, and scripts from the signal generator memory, and invalidates all waveform handles, sequence handles, and waveform names.
niFgen Allocate Waveform VI
Specifies the size of a waveform up front so that it can be allocated in onboard memory before loading the associated data. Data can then be loaded in smaller blocks with the niFgen Write Waveform (poly) VI.
niFgen Set Waveform Next Write Position VI
Sets the position in the waveform at which data is written during the next write. This VI allows you to write to arbitrary locations within the waveform. These settings apply only to the next write to the waveform specified by the Waveform Handle parameter. Subsequent writes to that waveform begin where the last write left off, unless this VI is called again. The Waveform Handle passed in must have been created by a call to the niFgen Allocate Waveform VI or the niFgen Clear Arbitrary Waveform VI.
niFgen Write Waveform (poly) VI
Writes data to the waveform in onboard memory.
