Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of a signal generator using a 12-bit DAC. The applications were developed in LabView software and are used for transposing in a FPGA code sequences for communicating with the DAC and for analytical implementation of the generated signal. For practical implementation of the signal generator the following hardware components were used: Spartan 3E development board and the peripheral module PmodDA2. The waveform of the generated signal is set based on an analytical expression implemented in LabView (with the PC host) using MathScript function. Signal generation is possible by using PmodDA2 module. Infinite discrete sequences form the analog signal, controlled by the software application developed in Labview (the host is Spartan 3E development board).
