Hello,I am currently using the function generator. vi, available as an DAQ example. What I am trying to develop is a program in which instead of standard signals such as sine, ramp, square, i can generate a random signal. For example, if I want to input a voltage signal with values such as 0.1V, 0.2V,0.3V,5V,7V,10V,2V,0.8V etc. How can I adapt this function generator program for generating a random signal. Or do I have to write a new program. Or is there any other program which is closer to what I need. I dont need the signal to be periodic, I have certain values of voltages which i need to generate in near realtime and once they are generated, the signal need not be periodic. Any help regarding how to develop such a program will be really appreciated.I am using LabView Express 7.0.Thank you.

random function generation

Hi intern_vt,

LabVIEW has a Random Number VI in the Numeric Palette, which generates a random number between 0 and 1. You can multiply this generated number by 50 to get random values between 0 and 50. You can simulate a "sleep" function between generations by putting the Random Number VI inside a loop with a "Wait" function (Time and Dialog palette). If you have further questions in this area, you should start a new thread in the LabVIEW forum.

Thanks,
Lesley Y.
