Simulating 'virtual' signal inputs

I've been told that prior to setting up a physical system with all hardware, we can start familiarising with the software by using a simulated input signal (eg. for our case, temperature readings)? I've been looking through the software but not sure how to achieve this 'virtual signal'? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

You can use the Test device to generate somewhat simulated channels. Just select Test and A to D. It will generate a sine wave with a period determined by the Channel #. You can then use a Conversion to shift or scale this value to something reasonable. The nice part is when you get your hardware, you can use the same channels, and just change the device type from Test to LabJack and adjust the conversions.
