Simulated Input Signal

[trigeek]

I am trying to create a LabVIEW program for proof of principle purposes for a control system. I have been using a random number generator for my input signal, but I would like to replace that with real data that I have collected. How do I input a waveform, or signal values, of my own creation? (The input signal is a representation of signal current, and the control loop should adjust the output voltage based on a current level).

Thanks in advance.

Save your data to a file. Create a subVI which reads the file and converts the file format to the numeric format your control system requires. Sustitute this for the random munber generator. If you use a text file, you can create test patterns with any text editor or spreadsheet program.
