How to Display Simulated Signals using Waveforms

Prerequisites

How to Add the Power Electronics Add-On to the System Definition

How to Add a Circuit Model to the System Definition

Procedure

NI VeriStand supports the display of lossless Waveform data using charts in the VeriStand Editor.

1. Navigate to the Waveforms section of the System Definition and follow the instructions to connect measurements of the circuit to waveform channels.  

2. Save the project and Deploy to start simulating.

3. Create a new Screen by selecting File >> New >> Screen from the menu at the top.

4. Drop a Chart onto the Screen by selecting the ribbon item Charts >> Chart.

5. A Channel Finder widget will pop up automatically. Select the Waveform channels you wish to view.

By default, Waveform data will be streamed and displayed on the chart at a rate of 100Hz. To better visualize high frequency signals, select the chart and navigate to its Item Properties page on the right-hand side to modify the Streaming Rate parameter. If a high Streaming Rate is required, consider reducing the History Length and Visible Length parameters to avoid lagging and hanging in the user interface.
