time values to signal

[Sachindian]

Hello,

i am trying to generate time signals for which i have values in matlab. I am trying to figure out a way to take this data in to simulate arbitary signal vi. I am unable to convert the data from mat file to lvm file. is there a way to do this.

Hi,

I'm sorry but I'm unfamiliar with matlab. When you say: "I am trying to generate time signals for which I have values in matlab.", do you mean you have the parameters for a function (e.g.. sine wave, amplitude.pp 1, phase 45°...)?

Or do you have the data of a complete waveform wit a list of xy pairs?

What does that mat file look like?

Regards

Florian

My mat file is a time values of the signal for one period. I want to replicate these values to form a complete signal.

The values are in two columns first is time and second is amplitude. I have taken 1000 samples for one time period of signals. 

I will be generating such files for differency frequency signals. how to convert them into readable format in labview.

Weird. I thought everyone had to search the forum before posting. If you simply done a search for 'read .mat', you would have found http://matio-labview.sourceforge.net/

You can also use matlab to create text files and make the conversion simpler. I suspect that the data itself could be created in LabVIEW.

@Dennis_Knutson mentioned correctly, same signal can be generated in LabVIEW...!!

but if the constraint is, you only have the data file (.mat file) and no MATLAB code, probably you may want to check following links:
