Well, looks to me like you have several choices, governed largely by your Time, Education, and Money:

The vb 8212 is great value. You get it all as one. For the spec you have now given you could do it with any ni daq which has hardware timed analogue output. You could not do it with low cost USB daq like 6003.

Thanks for the reply. I am mostly interested in generating sinusoidal waves of frequency ranging from 1 - 500 Hz and peak to peak voltage between 1-10 V. Through the LabVIEW interface, I wish to sequentially vary the frequency and peak voltage for a given duration.
Seems to me the cheapest would do. I doubt you'd need a FG that costs more the 50$.
Of course the VB is great, but if you are going to build it into a fixed setup, it doesn't shine for the money you pay for it. It's more a tool that a device.

I was wondering if instead of getting the entire NI virtual bench, can i only get the function generator portion of it?
Yes, but you pay the same. Or probably even more, as someone as to remove some software, especially for you.
