generating a ramped pulse train

I have a PXI-6608 counter/timer card that I am using to control a motor via a pulse train. I need to create ramped pulse trains for acceleration and was wondering if there is an easy way to do that in LabView. I have been buiding them a few pulses at a time just changing the frequency and it seems very crude. I was hoping someone has a better idea.

Thanks.

By "ramped" I assume you mean to sweep the frequency without stopping and restarting the counter. The following link should help you set up your operation to do this. There is an example program at the bottom of the page.
