Customized simulated DAQmx hardware

[Af_Dk]

Dear All

I use simulated DAQmx hardware to check my VI and it works well but as far as I know I can only get a sine wave from simulated hardware. Do you think there is any way to have an arbitrary wave shape as the output of simulated hardware? or any approach can be adopted instead?

Best Regards

Hi Afshin,

Thanks for your post and I hope your well today.

You are indeed correct. I beleive the only simulated signal you can get is a standard sinewave signal when using simulated devices. 

The way around this would just be to have a bit of code before your current code to generate some signals and then just 'wire' them into where the DAQmx task is inputting data into your system... you can use the signal processing pallete to build triangular waves etc.

Hope this helps,
