NI-FGEN Simulated Devices

Hardware: Signal Sources (AWG/FG/AO)

Problem:
I would like to program using the NI-FGEN driver but do not yet have the hardware. How can I simulate the device so that I can test my programming?

Solution:
The NI-FGEN driver allows you to simulate a device so that you can run your application without the hardware present.

To simulate a function generator, follow these steps:

  1. Initialize the NI-FGEN task with an niFgen Initialize with Options.vi.
  2. Create a control on the Option String terminal.
  3. Change the Simulate=0 section to Simulate=1.

See the screenshot below for an example of this code.
