LabView Based Function Generator for Power Electronics Training Needs

The manuscript presents the synthesis and program implementation of a functional generator for conducting simulation studies in the field of power electronics. The individual generator blocks are presented, along with their block diagrams and their specific implementation in the LabView visual programming environment. The functionality of the device is demonstrated using separate examples of the synthesis of common signals to control power electronic devices, such as pulse width modulation (PWM) simulations. The presented approach is very useful for power electronics training needs, as it enables a variety of experiments to be performed with both models and real devices, thanks to the specialized hardware developed by National Instruments.
