Creating General Waveform with X Series

[Kobi_K]

Hi all ,

I have CVI 9.1 And UBS NI-6356.

I want to create a software that will set Analog output General ( Arbitrary ) linear waveform based on var that will be set on the my GUI.

For example if I'll set :

Start voltage - 1V  Start time - 0ms

End Voltage - V  End time - 50ms

Freq - 50hz 

Number of points - 500.

The soft will take all the vars and create a Linear equation ( Voltage , Time ) , create an array of data for the wave form and send it throw analog output.

My problem is that I need to use the arbitrary wave form with the NI Fgen but the examples are not so clear is there any explanation page ? Or maybe some one can copy only the needed functions...

Thank you.

Update :

Since I realized my mistake the NIFGEN is not for the x Series ! Now I want to make a simple analog function output of waveforms....

and good example you know ?

A good place to start would be our C examples for generating voltage with DAQmx.

With DAQmx installed, navigate to: Start Menu >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI-DAQ >> Text-based code support >> Ansi C Examples >> Analog Out >> Generate Voltage.

There are several good examples in this folder that will work with CVI.
