how to connect fgen and mso in labview?

[Edmond_Dantes]

Hi,

I'm writing a LabVIEW vi to send to the MSO the waveform created with FGEN, but I am not able to connect the two devices, so they work in parallel but the oscilloscope doesn't display the function generated by FGEN.

Does anyone know how to connect the output from the FGEN_run.vi to the input of the MSO_read.vi or if there is any other way?

Thank you!

Here's a simple example of that. You'll need to have a BNC cable connecting the FGEN and the MSO.

This example configures then enables the function generator, and then uses auto-setup to configure the MSO. The acquisition uses the settings determined from auto-setup.

It disables the function generator output once the acquisition happens. You can remove the FGEN Stop.vi if you want to keep the function generator running.
