First , use the Table choice rather than the One Value choice.  

 

Then, you can do something like create 60 columns and fill them from the Data Generator with your strings and then use

 

aqDateTime.GetSeconds(Now) + 1

 

as an index to that table.  It will probably be random enough for what you need.  You can always refresh the table every once in a while, but this will work for multiple test runs.
