Is there a function for generating a triangle waveform that has both offset and delay?

[VarunKumar]

I want to have a triangle waveform in which I can set a delay and the width of the waveform (I can achieve this by using  Triangle Pattern.vi). Also I want to be able to give custom values for the min and max amplitude. example I want to be able to set the min amplitude to -1 and max to 6, or any other combination?

[VarunKumar]

In the attached vi, I am trying to create a triangle waveform. Can I somehow add controls for custom min and max amplitudes?

[RavensFan]

Sure.  Just add a value to the array that comes out.  So to offset it 1, just add 1 to the array and it will go from 1 to 2.

aestat already answered your question. Did you look at the VI that was posted?

[VarunKumar]

By doing that, I can change both the min and the max values symmetrically. Like it will shift both the min and the max values by a constant amount, which is 1 in the case you have mentioned. I want to be able to specify different deviations from the center. Like if min is 2 and max is 7, the min is off by 2 and max is off by 6

Yes I looked at that vi and it almost solved what I was looking for. I had this one more small doubt that is why I started this new thread

It sounds to me like you are struggling with basic arithmetic. Calculate the amplitude by subtracting the min from the max. Then, from the waveform array, add the min (or subtract the max).

Oh yes.. my bad.. I indeed was struggling with basic arithmetic. It is taking me time to get used to the graphical programming style. Thanks

Perhaps you can click on the 'Options' to change the solution to something other than your response?
