Defining a Signal

You can only define a signal when the experiment is stopped.

In the data generator, open the Signal menu and select Define Signal.
The Select a Signal Item window opens.
Select a signal from the "Database" or the "Workspace" pane.
Click OK.
The signal is now defined. You can have only one signal item per experiment.
Define one or more data generator channels as signal channels.

Once you have defined a signal, new menu items appear in the Signals menu in the data generator. However, these are only available when the experiment is stopped.

Note
If the signal you selected uses an MDF format higher than V2.0 (see also Signals and Icons – Importing Measurement Data to a Signal), a warning message will open when you start the experiment.
