Fixed number of pulses randomly pulsed

Hello again.

I have a question that I'd be very grateful to have some advice on. I want a fixed number of pulses per month, pulsed in a random fashion throughout the month. I.e., we have 10 pulses per month, but these ten pulses can happen at any time in the month.

Can somebody please help?

Thanks.

Will one of the random distributions work for you (Poisson)?

Maybe you can use that distribuion and store the resulting pulses until it reaches your target number. Then stop the pulses until the beginning of the next month.

Tony.

Thanks Tony - I'll try this sometime in the next week or so and report back with the results.
