Aristos Queue Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Need a source of true random numbers? Here's an excellent source, assuming you have an Internet connection available to your application. What's the National Instruments connection? The system was developed with NI PXI systems and LabVIEW. https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/sweet-apps/blog/2012/10/22/never-pick-your-own-lottery-numbers-again The online generator mentioned by the article is here: http://qrng.anu.edu.au/ This sort of begs to be packaged into a single "Get Real Random Number From Internet.vi". Very handy utility for lots of applications! 1 Quote Link to comment
Phillip Brooks Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 This reminds me of the Randomise Array thread. A guy I worked with many years ago interfaced LabVIEW 5.0 to a device / DLL that used radiation counters to generate random values. Quote Link to comment
Ton Plomp Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 And there are two API clients for LabVIEW (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/sweet-apps/blog/2012/10/22/never-pick-your-own-lottery-numbers-again#comment-24578). Full download at bitbucket Ton Quote Link to comment
Wouter Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 http://www.random.org/ already provides the same functionality for several years. I wrote some VI's to get the random numbers/strings, https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-13121 Quote Link to comment
