Is there any way to modify the sinewave 'output' of a simulated device?

Solved!
Go to solution

I am working on a LV data collection and analysis VI in LabView that interfaces with a CDAQ 9178 chasis loaded with 9215 A/D modules.  Within the Measurement & Automation Explorer I have succesfully set up simulated devices that are working with my code and I am receiving the standard sinewave/5(?)% noise signal.

 

However, to really test my application I need a slightly different sinewave with a high frequency (1-10hz vs the <<1hz sent by the simulated device).  Is there anyway to modify or get the simulated device to output a different wave?  If not,  are there any other simple ways to simulate the device?  I could write another VI to send out a sinewave but was looking for a more obvious or simpler solution first.

 

Thanks

No. What you would need to do is call one of the generate waveform functions instead of the DAQmx Read. Placing both inside a case or  statement or conditional disable structure is pretty simple.

Thanks,

 

I put one together and it did go much easier than I expected.
