Signal Generation Functions (Simulation Module)
Owning Palette: Simulation VIs and Functions
Use the Signal Generation functions to generate specific waveform patterns and to index signals into an array.
 | Note If you configure a parameter for a Signal Generation function programmatically, the function updates its output value using only the current parameters and ignores the previous parameters. If you change the function parameters while the ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver is evaluating the simulation, you might introduce a discontinuity into the generated signal. |
The functions on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes or specific Simulation Module Error Codes. LabVIEW sends any error that the functions on this palette return to the Error output on the Output Node of the Simulation Loop.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Chirp Signal | Generates the point-by-point value of a chirp signal. |
| Indexer | Indexes a waveform or array by the current simulation time. |
| Pulse Signal | Generates the point-by-point value of a pulse train signal. A pulse train signal is a signal whose value switches between zero and a specified amplitude. The current value depends on the current simulation time. |
| Ramp Signal | Generates the point-by-point value of a ramp signal. |
| Signal Generator | Generates the point-by-point value of a periodic signal. |
| Sine Signal | Generates the point-by-point value of a sine signal. |
| Step Signal | Generates the point-by-point value of a step signal. |
