save waveform signal to .wav format

[PA_UW]

I am having difficulties saving a simple Sine wave to .wav format.  Does anyone have experience with this?   I just want to create a sine wave using simulate signal at a specific frequency and amplitude and save it as a .wav.  I tried using the Sound File Write vi and that doesn't seem to work.

Thank-you for any help.

Check out this example here.

The file download is messed up I think, but if you manually change the filetype to ".vi" it will open.

I am not sure why it is not working for you. Please post some code.

Here is my attempt at save the sine wave file as a wav file.

• Create a filepath for the file that you're creating. You haven't set any path.
• Use the Open and Close subVIs from the same palette as the Write.
• Make sure the file type is ".wav"

Thank-you!  I made these changes (attached) and still get the same error.

This is the first time you've mentioned an error. What error?

[PA_UW]

If you run it there is an error:

-4824

This isn't necessarily a warning, it's just letting you know that your data was out of range for a wav file, so it had to clip it.

Your waveform data must fit within the -1 to 1 range.
