Sinewave Generators Section

Use the Sinewave Generators to generate up to 32 independent sinusoidal signals on the FPGA. These signals can be mapped directly to Analog Output channels or to voltage and current Sources in the circuit model.

Sinewave Generators Section Channels

In the System Explorer window configuration tree, expand the Power Electronics Add-On custom device, then Circuit Model >> Sinewave Generators to display the following subsections and custom device channels. Assign values to the channels to configure the Sinewave Generators. The value of an input channel can be modified dynamically at execution time.

	Channel Name	Type	Units	Default Value	Description
Frequency Engines
	Frequency Engine X	Input	Hertz	60Hz	Frequency of the engine. Up to 32 Frequency Engines are available in each hardware configuration.
Reset
	Channel Name	Type	Units	Default Value	Description
	Auto Synchronize	Input		0 (False)	False: Normal operation True: Synchronizes all Frequency Engines to each other to prevent phase drift but if the amplitude, phase, or offset of the generator is changed it can cause undesired outputs.
	Reset	Input		0 (False)	False: Normal operation True: Resets all Frequency Engines to 0 degrees
SWG X
	Channel Name	Type	Units	Default Value	Description
	Amplitude	Input	Volts	0V	Amplitude of the generated sinewave. The peak-to-peak value will be twice the amplitude.
	Frequency Engine	Input		0	Index of the Frequency Engine X used to generate the sinewave. Setting a value of 2 will connect Frequency Engine 2 to the sinewave generator. Assign the same Frequency Engine X index to multiple sinewave generators to ensure that they stay phase locked in time.
	Offset	Input	Volts	0V	DC offset of the generated sinewave.
	Phase	Input	Degrees	0°	Phase offset of the generated sinewave relative to the other sinewaves using the same frequency engine.
