Quasi random number

[karthik3k]

How do I create Quasi random number using LabView ?

Is there any module for Labview ?


Somebody help!

thanks,

Can you not use the random number generator from the numeric palette -- the icon that looks like a couple of dice?

For the sake of being redundant and providing a visual

It's found in the Numeric palette

Hi karthik,

apart from using built-in random number generator you can also use this. It will work on PC too.

Well, a single quasi random number is not really different from a (pseudo random number), the difference arises if you have a sequence of such numbers.

I am not aware if LabVIEW has such a beast.

The web has many code examples, so all you need to do is wrap it into a DLL. 🙂

Or you can just do this:

Here's the equivalent LabVIEW code:

Of course, if you only want a quasi-random number, you can't use this as it's truly random.

Mathscript has two functions that may help:
Richtmeyer and Halton

These are not currently exposed in the LabVIEW palettes
