I am new to LabVIEW and we have just started using LabVIEW 8 base. There is no express vi for an Arbitrary Waveform Generator. I need some help, because i have only been to the basic training.

Welll, could you describe a little bit more your application such as :

- what data you want to plot, where they come from, at what rate...
- how many plots you want on your graph, ...

there you describe your application the more we can help you 😉

I just need some help to produce code for making a VI for an " Arbitrary Waveform Generator ". Just like the express VI that is in the Profesional version of LabVIEW 8. I will be using this VI to drive some analog outputs.

Thank You;

Look in the shipping examples for a VI called Arbitrary Waveform Generator. I don't have LabVIEW 8 but I'm assuming that this example is still there. It has a mode that allows you to create a waveform by sketching it on a graph. A waveform (sine, triangle, square, arb) is nothing more than an array of DBLs with some timing information. Even if you don't want to create a waveform by sketching it, it has some useful subVIs (like line interpolation) that you can use if you want to specify a waveform with different x and y pairs.
