save waveform signal to .wav format

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.

Cheers

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

  • 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"

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

If you run it there is an error:

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.
