Using the Agilent VEE Development Environment
How Agilent VEE Programs Work
Lab 1-2: Viewing Data Flow and Propagation
To see how data flow works, open the program you created earlier. Open the
program
simple-program.vee by clicking the Open button on the
toolbar. (The program
simple-program.vee is described in the section
called “Display Waveform Program” on page 52.) Now run the program. It
should appear as shown in Figure 1-36, although you may have different
values for parameters.
Figure 1-36. Typical simple-program.vee Display
The data output pin of the Function Generator object is connected to the
data input pin of the
Waveform (Time) object. When you run the program,
the
Waveform (Time) object will not execute until it receives data from
the
Function Generator object. This is a simple example of data flow.
Lab 1-3: Adding a Noise Generator
Add a “noisy sine wave” by adding a Noise Generator object to
simple-program.vee, as shown in Figure 1-37.
