Measure period of a square wave signal in LabVIEW

Hello. I have a question how to measure and record period of a square wave signal in LabVIEW. Currently I am measuring and recording voltage signal, form of a square wave and then with pandas I calculate period and speed. Is it possible directly to measure and record period of my signal ? So instead on a voltage in my csv file I will have period. Thank you.

You can use Pulse Measure VI or Extract Tone VI under Signal Processing >> Waveform Measurements palette.

I wasn't aware that panda bears can do math. Learned something new. 😄

 

Can you explain the measurement? Does the period change over time? Can you explain your use of the word "directly"? typically you need many voltage points to measure one period.

I believe the OP could have been from the Python world, where Pandas library is an excellent, helpful data manipulation and analysis tool.

 

As someone who develops in Python and LabVIEW, it will be a game-changer if such a thing exists for LabVIEW.
