Sine wave generation

can somebody tell me please what is the difference in sine pattern VI,Sine wave VI and sine VI.
i know that generate continuous sine wave 2 channels use sin pattern VI. Basic function generator use sine wave VI. Compute sin wave VI uses sineVI.
is functionality of all these 3 VIs almost the same?
moreover sine pattern VI and aine wave VI uses samples as input argument. does sample means periods of a sine wave?

Hello hood1,

sine.vi calculates the sine of an input.

sine pattern.vi generates a sine wave with the parameters specified as input (amplitude, phase, number of cycles). It outputs a DBL-array, its length can be set by the number of samples input.

sine waveform.vi also generates a sine wave but the output will be of waveform data type.

Hope this helps you understand the different VIs.

PS. In future, please post as question only once in one thread. Thanks.
