Signal generator: generates a variety of waveforms.

Supports an output of type complex, float, int, and short

Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Sample Rate (R)
Default value: samp_rate
Sample rate (fs) is the average number of samples obtained in one second. Its units are samples per second or hertz e.g. 48,000 sample rate is 48 kHz.
Waveform (R)
options: [Constant, Sine, Cosine, Square, Triangle, Saw Tooth]
For selection with a variable, the following values should be used:
 * Constant = 100
 * Sine = 101
 * Cosine = 102
 * Square = 103
 * Triangle = 104
 * Sawtooth = 105
Frequency (R)
Frequency of the waveform (default: 1000)
Amplitude (R)
Amplitude of the output (default: 1)
Offset (R)
Offset from zero (default: 0)
Initial Phase (Radians) (R)
Default: 0

Message Ports

cmd
The 'cmd' message port accepts message pairs.
'freq' . float value
*'ampl' . float value
*'phase' . float value
  • 'offset' . float value
freq
The value of frequency in the signal source can be changed by connecting a message strobe with the Message PMT set to pmt.from_float(new_freq). In this way, the frequency of the signal source will be changed to new_freq value after the specified period in the message strobe. In the following example, the frequency of the signal source is changed to 1k Hz after 5 seconds.

The 'freq' message port has been deprecated in 3.9 in favor of the 'cmd' message port.

Example Flowgraph

This flowgraph is for version 3.9+.
