In order to troubleshoot the defects with the implementation of underwater target echo-signal generator by using traditional embedded systems, the techniques of NI virtual instrument are explored for this purpose. Firstly, a software module that simulates under water target echo-signals is developed in the IDE LabVIEW by utilizing G programming language. Then, the generated signals are practically output via the so called PXI-1050 hared platform, which consists of the PXI-8087 embedded controller and PXI-6070E multi-function DAQ card. The designed generator is advantageous in working speed and flexibility.
