e4426B incrementing amplitude

I am trying to set up a VI.  I ran into an issue that I have yet to solve.  The piece of equipment is an Agilent E4426B.  I cannot find an easy way to increment or decrement the amplitude of the signal coming out.  You can do this manually on the Signal Generator, so I assume there is someway to do this programatically.  If there is not an easy way to do this, I was thinking of making a table with two columns of values.  If the input matches the first column, then the output would be the corrosponding second column value.  Is there a way to do this in LB as well? 
Thanks in advance for the help.

This seems to be a pretty common question lately. Here's one way. You could also search the forum for the increment/decrement or ramp as keywords. You'll have to put in the function from the driver that actually sets the amplitude. For a slightly different approach, you should also look at the shipping example called Frequency Response. In there, the frequency is being incremented but the principle is the same.
