Generates a waveform composed of a sum of sine tones, noise, and DC offset. Example

	reset signal, if TRUE, resets the phase of each tone to the phase value from the tones array, the seed to the seed control value, and the time stamp to zero. The default is FALSE.
	tones contains the parameters for each sine tone. frequency specifies the frequency of the sine tone in hertz. amplitude specifies the amplitude of the sine tone. phase specifies the initial phase of the sine tone in degrees. The default is 0.
	noise specifies the rms level of the additive Gaussian noise. The default is 0.0.
	offset is the DC offset of the signal. The default is 0.0.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally even if an error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source specifies the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	sampling info contains sampling information. Fs is the sampling rate in samples per second. The default is 1000. #s is the number of samples in the waveform. The default is 1000.
	seed, when greater than 0, causes reseeding of the noise sample generator. The default is –1. LabVIEW maintains the internal seed state independently for each instance of this reentrant VI. For a specific instance of this VI, if seed is less than or equal to 0, LabVIEW does not reseed the noise generator, and the noise generator resumes producing noise samples as a continuation of the previous noise sequence.
	signal out is the generated waveform.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out front panel indicator and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.

Example

Refer to the 1D Fourier Interpolation VI in the labview\examples\analysis\intpxmpl.llb for an example of using the Tones and Noise Waveform VI.
