This example demonstrates how to use the RCP CL Smooth Signal Generator VI. For a detailed description of this VI and how it operates, please refer to the RCP Smooth Signal Generator help page.

System Requirements

Please refer to the Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) Toolkit System Requirements to run this example. This example does not require any other hardware.

Configuring the Example

There is no configuration required to run this VI on a Windows PC. Once the RCP CL Smooth Signal Generator Example.lvproj is open, click the RCP CL Smooth Signal Generator Example.vi under My Computer and you are ready to execute the example.

Running the Example

Click on the VI Run button or select Run from the Operator menu to start the VI.

The Signal chart shows a sine wave that transitions between the frequency specified in f0 to f1 after 2 seconds. The blue signal is generated using a standard signal generator while the red signal signal is generated using the RCP CL Smooth Signal Generator. As illustrated, the transition between the two frequencies is smoother (i.e., with no discontinuity and whose derivative is also continuous) when using the RCP VI.

Try changing the f0 and f1 parameters of the sine wave and examine their effect on the scope.

Click on the Front Panel Stop button to stop the VI.
