signal output VI

[eeresearcher]

I am a student researcher and am trying to find (or create) a VI what outputs a signal to an external device with a frequency range of 1kHz to 100kHz (similar to a signal generator) and also a VI to read in an analog input ( similar to an oscilloscope).

I am using LabVIEW 6.0 student ed. and a BNC-2110 connector block.

Thanks.

What are you using for these external devices?
NI I/O card, speaker/microphone, ???

At the moment, i am connecting it to a general oscilloscope; in order to test what frequency range i can generate a signal using Labview.

The scope needs a connection to the computer - GPIB, USB, RS-232 ... Have you made this connection?
The scope manufacturer should supply a command syntax. Do you know what this is?

Of course, this assumes that the scope is capable of being conected to the computer. Not all of them are.

I think he is asking what you have for a DAQ card. What card did you place in the computer and hook to the BNC-2110?

Since you are using this connector block, you can create a signal with the Simulate Signal Express VI and then send it from the computer through your DAQ card to the BNC-2110 by using the DAQ Assistant Express VI. The Signal output of the Simulate Signal VI should be wired into the data input that will be created on the DAQ Assistant Express VI (after you have configured it).

Depending on what you are trying to do with it, you may need to put the whole thing in a loop.
