How can I convert an ac waveform to dc in Labview?

[westerman111]

I started out with an AC waveform, and I rectified it. I think that the next step is to add a capacitor. Is this correct? If so, how can I implement a capacitor in Labview? If not, what should I be doing?

With some funky math.

I don't understand what you are trying to do.  Are you trying to build a circuit?  Did you aquire a waveform and are now trying to perform some measurement on it?

Wioth rectifiers and caps, it sounds like you are using Multisim and not LabVIEW. You should be posting to that board.

If you are actually using LabVIEW, then all you probably need is the Basic Averaged DC-RMS function.

I have the same doubt as well. Please can anyone send a snap of the rectifier code in labview

Hi chathura,

what are your "doubting" about a nearly 7 years old thread?
