SDA Exp.4

1. The student designed a virtual function generator in LabVIEW using case structures and loops to generate different waveforms. 2. The front panel included knobs to control amplitude, frequency, and other parameters. The block diagram used a case structure with different VIs to generate sine, sawtooth, triangular and square wave signals. 3. The student observed that a case structure executes the appropriate case depending on the input, while loops and for loops are used for iterative processes. They learned about concepts like duty cycle, DC offset, and peak-to-peak voltage.

1. Aim/Overview of the practical: Design a LABVIEW project to design a virtual function


generator using loops and case structures.

2. Task to be done:

Design a virtual function generator using case structure adding different case statements
of a) sine b) sawtooth c) triangular d) square signals.

6. Steps for experiment/practical:


1. Open the LabVIEW software.
2. In front panel right click to open controls palette.
3. Bring out two knobs and name them amplitude and frequency respectively.
4. Also bring numerical control and name them duty cycle (%) and DC offset.
5. Bring out waveform chart to get the output.
6. In the block diagram place case structure from function palette.
7. For opening the inbuilt VI of function generator go to
Function palette > signal processing > wfm generator > basic funcGen
8. Make three more copies of VI.
9. Put one VI inside the case structure.
10. Right click and make controller for the VI and put it out of the case structure.
11. Now connect all the controllers and waveform graph to the VI.
12. Do the same for other cases.
13. Put this code inside a while loop and make a controller to stop the while loop.
14. Place wait function in the while loop and make constant input of 100 milliseconds.
15.Now run the program to take output.

7. Observations/Discussions:
The comparison between for-loop, while-loop and case structure are illustrated below: -

Function generator: A function generator is a specific form of signal generator that is able
to generate waveforms with common shapes. It can create repetitive waveforms with a
number of common shapes. In addition to producing sine waves, function generators may
typically produce other repetitive waveforms including sawtooth, triangular waveforms,
square waves, and pulses. Another feature included on many function generators is the
ability to add a DC offset.
