Building an Analysis VI In the following exercises, you will build a VI that generates a signal, filters  the signal, indicates if the signal exceeds a certain limit, and records the  data. After you complete the exercises, the front panel of the VI will look simila r to the front panel in Figure 3-1. Modifying a VI Created from a Template Complete the following steps to create a VI that generates, analyzes, and  displays a signal. In the Getting Started window, click New to display the New dialog box. From the Create New list, select VI»From Template»Tutorial (Getting Started)»Generate, Analyze, and Display. This template VI simulates a signal and analyzes it for its root mean square (RMS) value. Click the OK button or double-click the name of the template to create a VI from the template. If the Context Help window is not visible, press the <Ctrl-H> keys to display the window. (Mac OS X) Press the <Command-Shift-H> keys.

Building a VI from a Blank VI In the following exercises, you will open a blank VI and add structures and  Express VIs to the block diagram to build a new VI. You will build a VI  that generates a signal, reduces the number of samples in the signal, and  displays the resulting data in a front panel table. After you complete the  exercises, the front panel of the VI will look similar to the front panel in Figure 2-1. Opening a Blank VI If no template is available for the VI you want to build, you can start with a blank VI and add Express VIs to accomplish a specific task. Complete the following steps to open a blank VI. In the Getting Started window, click the Blank VI link in the New section or press the <Ctrl-N> keys to open a blank VI.
