Based on the principle of DDS frequency synthesis, this paper introduces a virture signal generator which generates generates waveform data with software calculation on the virtual instrument platform and outputs signals by PC-DAQ with many advantages, such as high and changeable frequency resolution, short frequency-transition time and the pure spectrum. The difference of the virtual and traditional signal generator about output spectrum is compared. At last, the performance parameter of the signal generator and the experiment results are given. The virtual signal generator has been used as signal resource of piezoelectric parameter measurement system.
