Design of a Virtual Function Generator for Signal Generation
Gözde Tektaş · Advances in Applied Sciences · 2017
A virtual function generator was designed by developing a code by LabVIEW. Signals with the same amplitude and frequency supplied from a real function generator and the virtual function generator were sent to a real oscilloscope to measure the quantities. The signals from the virtual one were generated at analog output channel of a National Instruments (NI) multifunction data acquisition device. Amplitude and time quantities of the signals from both generators were compared with each other. The results from the virtual generator were highly in compatible with those of the real one. It was concluded that the designed virtual function generator could be used to supply the signals especially in low frequencies.
