converting digits from display to tactile vibrations

[MMQ]

I would like to get a pulse or pulses for the some output.. i.e. i need to convert digital output (i.e. clock display to tactile display (vibrations)) if the clock or any display, displays 345, then i would have three switches on my module, i switch on the first, and it
will vibrate three times, basically there will be three pulses from the square wave, and current will go through the motor three times vibrating it three times. Same as when i put on the second switch, it
would vibrate 4 times, and then the 3rd switch, it would vibrate 5 times. You can also ask your professor for some help please

I don't know what font you used, or how you managed to make your message go so wide, but it is very hard to read.

You will need to provide a little more information to get some help such as what kind of data acquisition equipment are you using?  What are the physical inputs and outputs?
Do you have any specific question as it relates to LabVIEW?

Who is my "professor who I can ask for some help please"?

Sorry about my first post guys, The reason its soo wide, and please disregard the part that states
"professor who I can ask for some help please" i felt lazy and decided to cut and paste this question
earlier.. Anyway.. this is my situation.. I have a school project, and I need some help. It has been a
very long time since i used LabVIEW so I am not very familiar with it. I am trying to work on a program
in labview.. or rather trying to create a program on labview that would allow me to read a digital
display as vibrations. I have a DAQ, and I have labview software. the scenario is.. Suppose I have a
clock, or a podometer, I would like to come up with a program and later on a gadget that could convert
the numbers i see on the display as vibrations. for an example: if the display on my podometer reads
121, then on my gadget i would have 3 buttons, and when i'd press the first button, the unit (gadget)
would vibrate once, and then when i would press the second button, it would vibrate twice at regular
short intervals, and when i press the third button, it would vibrate once again. Now I know i have to
use something like a square wave that would give me pulses, ofcourse i'd attach my unit to a vibrating
motor, and the pulses would act as current going through the motor. Please help. once again, I am sorry
for the first post.

Hi MMQ,

Without knowing what DAQ devices and drivers you are using it may be a bit difficult to give focused help but the general procedure for this would see to include the following steps:

Read the value and the button pressed from this other device
If it fufills a certain condition, it can trigger a finite pulse generation (assuming your DAQ device supports this) where the number of pulses can be set in a case structure

You can also check out this article to learn more about LabVIEW and DAQ. Examples are also a great way to learn more and to get started with this application. The Example Finder can be accessed through the Help menu in LabVIEW.
