AO Waveform Gen VI does not generate continuous waveform

[Jeff N]

When generating a waveform using the VI, I can generate a single occurence, or multiple occurrences. But, If I wire the Generation Count of '0' for continuous operation, the data is not output to the motor.

Jeff;

You are right. I could reproduce the problem here on my end. I will forward this issue to R&D right away.
Thanks for letting us know that.
For now, in case you want to generate a continuous waveform, you need a while loop and to set the Generation Count input to 1.

Filipe, thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, a While loop requires such CPU resources that it doesn't run while other required processes are working. As a straight replacement, it is not a solution. I will look for other ideas, and will wait to hear about any potential fixes or other work arounds.

Thanks,
Jeff
