Sweeps and Sequencing

[filip189]

Hello,

Here is what I'd like to do:

1) continuously generate a waveform of an arbitrary frequency

2)continuously acquire processed data

2) initiate a frequency sweep (this will be done using a list of values) after a software trigger event--without interrupting the ongoing acquisition

3) initiate saving of acquired data (along with phase-coherent generated signal data), using the same trigger

4) synchronize it so that separate data files contain acquired data corresponding to the different frequencies

Is it possible to do this in SignalExpress? Or is only LabVIEW flexible enough?

Thanks,

Filip

Hello Filip,

All of the individual components you list as requirements for your application can be found in signal express and with some elegant conditional repeat execution control constructs you may be able to achieve your desired functionality. That being said, it seems what you wish to be accomplished would be more easily achieved in labview and might be more adaptable if new programming constraints arise for you. I suppose it ultimately comes down to your comfort level in each software suite and what all you have at your disposal.

Best,
