Resumen:
We present the first results of a simulation oriented to obtain  synthetic differential light curves, which contemplate situations  with different atmospheric and instrumental conditions, looking  foward to obtain real cases. Our aim is to test the  different statistical tools that are used in the analysis of  variability of active galactic nuclei  (AGNs).In particular, we analyze the behaviour of these synthetic light  curves taking into account the C and F statistics. The present work  is a continuation of the analysis of a 39 AGN sample, studied before  by Romero et al. 1999 and Romero et al. 2002, and  re-analyzed by Zibecchi et al. 2012. Results from the previous  work are compared with those obtained in the simulation.
