Description of GenGaussian

The unit called GenGaussian generates normally distributed random numbers The output data type is a SampleSet.

The random numbers are normally distributed with a mean and standard deviation that are set by the user in the parameter window. The default mean is 0.0, and the default standard deviation is 1.0. The random numbers are calculated by Java's Random class.
 

Using GenGaussian

Users should open the parameter window to set the mean and standard deviation of the random numbers. These may be set by typing numbers in the data-entry box. The user can also set the number of data points and the sampling rate of the output SampleSet. The parameter window is shown here:
