Increments for for loops

[Oferer]

HI,

I am attempting to do a for loop similiar to the following c text ( for i=32, i+2)

Please tell me if it is possible to increment in Labview by more then 1 in a for loop and secondly if I can start the loop at another number except for 0

Thank you

You can multiply [i] by two and you can also add a constant to the result. That should be sufficient, right?

[JÞB]

Nope.  Loops start at 0 and increment by 1

Of course you can use "i*2" and N=17 to generate the series 0,2,4,6,8...,32

[altenbach]

You can also create your ramp using e.g. "ramp pattern" and autoindex the result into the FOR loop.

As far as i tried I can not update I - I tried i +2 but that is good for the graph and not for the loop. I did not manage to to start i on 32

[SteveChandler]

You can not modify i. It tells how many times the loop has iterated and that is it. You can wire 32/2 to the N terminal.

Thanks I will try but I still am interested to know if there is a way to start I on any number and increment by more then 1

[altenbach]

There are plenty of ideas out there to add this functionality in the future. (example)

Thank you, I guess I will just have to work my way around this case, I have some ideas but i was trying to shorten it to one for loop

I usually do something similar to the following.
