lvlib for signal generation?

[piterx]

Dear Forum Members,

I am developing signal generation and acquisition application using parallel loops and NIDAQ hardware. I thought it would be good if I use an example from Labview (continuous measurement and logging using NIDAQmx) as a template where some useful lvlibs are provided for acquisition, logging to disk etc. However are there any similar lvlibs, but for signal generation? I cannot find anything, but maybe I'm missing something.

If not I'm happy to develop something similar by myself or modify existing subvis from this example, but thought I would save some time if there are any templates for generation.

Many thanks,

Piotr Golacki

There are multiple NI Examples for "signal generation" -- they are called "Analog Output", "Digital Output", or "Counter Output" (depending on whether you want to generate an analog, a digital, or a pulse train signal).  Open LabVIEW, go to Help, Find Examples, and in the Example Finder, look under Hardware Input and Output, DAQmx.

Dear Bob,

Thank you for your reply.

I looked through the examples. However what I was looking for was a template similar to Continuous Measurement and logging (NI DAQmx) which is based on QMH and has some neat lvlibs, I was hoping for a similar template for signal generation.

Also is there any other way to add those ready lvlibs shipped with LV templates? I hoped that maybe there is a library of those lvlibs and maybe there is something more there. I tried to find them, but it doesn't seem that they are available in any other way than by starting with a template. Which means I need to create my own counterparts, which is OK. But if someone can prove me wrong that would be great.

Many thanks,

If you search through the LabVIEW directory (in Program Files etc) you should find the code that generates the template.

I'm on a phone currently so I can't find the path, but I'd suggest looking at either the resources folder or maybe examples (that might be a subdirectory of another, maybe VI.lib?)

I'll check and post again tomorrow if you're still looking in 8 hours or so.
