Tones and Noise Waveform VI
- Updated2025-07-30
- 3 minute(s) read
Generates a waveform composed of a sum of sine tones, noise, and DC offset.

Inputs/Outputs
reset signal
—
reset signal, if TRUE, resets the phase of each tone to the phase value from the tones array, the seed to the seed control value, and the time stamp to zero. The default is FALSE.
tones
—
tones contains the parameters for each sine tone.
noise (rms)
—
noise specifies the rms level of the additive Gaussian noise. The default is 0.0.
offset
—
offset is the DC offset of the signal. The default is 0.0.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. With the following exception, this input provides standard error in functionality. This node runs normally even if an error occurred before this node runs.
sampling info
—
sampling info contains sampling information.
seed
—
seed, when greater than 0, causes reseeding of the noise sample generator. The default is –1. LabVIEW maintains the internal seed state independently for each instance of this reentrant VI. For a specific instance of this VI, if seed is less than or equal to 0, LabVIEW does not reseed the noise generator, and the noise generator resumes producing noise samples as a continuation of the previous noise sequence.
signal out
—
signal out is the generated waveform.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
