Continuous sin wave generation without buffer

[Johnaxe]

I am using Labview 6.0.2 Base version, without Sine Waveform.vi (I have Simple Sine waveform, and Sine wave) but these functions are not the same as Sine Waveform.vi. When I try to open any virtual function generator it calls for this waveform which I don't have. I need a continuous sin wave that still maintains it's shape at 400 Hz. I have made a continous wave using a buffer and for loop, but it looks more like a sawtooth wave. Can somebody help me?

If you are performing any sort of mathermatical analysis, then you should upgrade your base version of LabVIEW to either full or professional. The extra cost for the upgrade will be paid for as soon as you call the Sinewaveform VI you mentioned. In addition to function generation, you will get analysis routines for FFTs, Linear Alg, Filters, Windowing, etc.

I used to have the base version only, and I wonder how I got anything done. It seemed that I always needed to write my own math routines. What a waste of time! Just call the ones that the experts write, debug, and maintain.

Just my 2 cents put you would benefit with upgrading to nothing less than 7.0 but why not go 7.1 If this is an option do it. DAQmx Assistant alone will save hours of design time. Not to mention all the other math functions now available with 7.1
