How do I create random pulse heights for BNC555 pulse generator?

I am trying to use a BNC555 to create a pulse with a random magnitude. The library given by NI has been great to start, but I cannot seem to take the adjustable pulse height and transform it to a random pulse height. Any ideas? Has anyone seen this done?

you can take the output from the 555 and run it through a multiply node, with a random number generator applied to the second input (multiplier)

This sounds like a great idea. The multiplier is something that I found out would be necessary as the rise time is significantly different if you use the adjustable feature of the BNC555. Therefore, I can only use 5 and 35 V magnitudes from the power supply to keep the sharp rise times and a multiplier to get the different magnitudes.
