I have a turbine flowmeter giving a frequency output (-5 : 5 V) with a wave shape as in the figure attached. This signal is fed to a Digital-to-analog converter to give a 4-20 mA signal to feed to my DAQ.

Now, I need to set the range for the converter (to know which frequency gives which current), to do this I should use a function generator, and I won't be able to produce the same shape as the output from the flow meter, so the question is:

Is the output signal (4-20 mA) dependent on the shape of the input wave or just the frequency?
