Pulse Generator Output

Hello,

I have a very straight forward question. I have a pulse generator 33250A. I am just trying to create a simple waveform output from the attached labview code.

I was wondering if there is anyway to see the output waveform from the pulse generator in a waveform graph itself in LABVIEW? I can see it in an external oscilloscope. But I want to see it in a waveform graph itself in the LABVIEW code because the oscilloscope is pretty old and it cannot go to more than 1MHz. It would be really great if someone can tell me how to read the data from the output vi of the pulse generator. Thank You

The same way you generated a pulse (that you could read with an oscilloscope, so it was represented as a time-varying voltage), you can "see the output waveform" if you have hardware capable of sampling the time-varying voltage signal at a sufficiently fast rate.

 

I just looked at the code you attached, and can't really see/understand the Pulse, and why your scope (which "only goes up to 1 MHz") can't visualize the signal.  Most of the functions that you use aren't visible in the attached code (they look like grey boxes with large grey question marks in them), but your Front Panel talks about a Pulse Width of 1 sec with an amplitude of 1 V (not hard for a scope to show), and a 1 kHz sinusoid ("Pulse generator"?), also not a problem for your scope.
