Arbitrary Waveform Generator (ARB)

The NI ELVISmx Arbitrary Waveform Generator (ARB) generates a signal, displayed as an 
electrical waveform. This advanced-level software instrument uses the AO capabilities of the 
device. You can create a variety of signal types using the Waveform Editor software, which is 
included with the NI ELVISmx software. You can load waveforms created with the 
NI Waveform Editor into the NI ELVISmx ARB to generate stored waveforms. Refer to the 

NI ELVISmx Help

 for more information about the Waveform Editor. To access this help file, go

NI ELVISmx Help

.

Since the device has two AO and two AudioOutput channels, two waveforms may be 
simultaneously generated. You can choose to run continuously or run once. This instrument has 
the following measurement parameters:

Output Channels: AO 0 and AO 1; AudioOutput Left and AudioOutput Right. You can use 
AO channels or AudioOutput channels, but not a combination of both.

Trigger Source: Immediate only. This control will always be disabled.
