Creating a Simple Worksheet
When DASYLab starts, the DASYLab worksheet window opens with the
menu bar at the top of the window, the function bar underneath, and the
browser on the left side of the window.
Complete the following steps to create a worksheet with a data source and a
display module:
1.
Click the Modules tab in the browser.
a.
Click the Plus sign next to the Control module group.
b. Select the Generator module and drag and drop the module into
the worksheet.
Specify the generator type in the dialog box that opens:

c. Click OK to confirm the default setting. DASYLab inserts the
generator into the worksheet.
Use the generator module to create a hardware-independent worksheet
that you can use on every computer with a DASYLab installation. You
replace the Generator module later with the module of the installed
hardware, for example, the analog input of the NI-DAQmx driver.
2. Double-click the Generator module to open the dialog box. The first
channel outputs a rectangular waveform signal.

Click the Plus button next to the channel bar to activate a second
signal.
b. If you click the button of channel 1, the channel outputs a sine
waveform signal.
c. Click OK. DASYLab adds a second output to the generator.
