customize for loop to run from x value to y value

[Guy04]

How can you customize a for loop to run from a specified i-value.

Basically how can I do this c code in Labview:

for(i=2; i<10; i++)
{....}

You can do it using a while loop conditional on i<10, or have a case inside a for loop that is conditional on the i<10. For loops, in LabVIEW, execute for a specified number of iterations and don't actually have a means to terminate early, so the only way to simulate this it to have them loop more times than needed and have a conditional case statement inside that only executes during the appropriate iterations.

Guy04,

you cannot influence the iterator of any loops in LabVIEW. So there is (sadly) no way to initialize the iterator to a value != 0.
Nevertheless, you can "emulate" this by doing what i did in the screenshot. Just remember that "N" has to be the difference between end- and startvalue of your iterator (in your example 10 - 2 = 8 ).

hope this helps,
Norbert B.

Hi Guy,

you can also emulate this for loop with a while loop and a shift register:
