increment HOW TO help

[EvenDeejay]

Set Init value = 8

Set wait (ms) = 1000      <- 1 second

Set N in the for-loop = 7  (or 8 if you want to see "16" in the counter)

Counter will start at 9 and then reset when it comes to 16.

Well I tried but with no success: try delay also timer...

Also I have problem, because, when I stop, it doesn't go from the begginin but it's stay at 16...

Will you please attach your own vi.  Then I can tell you what you are doing wrong.

Waldemar already told him what's wrong I'll bet.  He's not writing to the device while the loop is running but waiting until afterward.

hlod:  This is very basic.  If your code isn't in a loop there is no timing.  That's what loops are for.

1.  Init your hardware...   2.  Write data to it IN A LOOP...   3.  Close your hardware.

See the pic for an example.

Well it's not working, I do it like this:

Have you worked through the LV tutorials?  Your question and the image of the VI suggest that you do not have a basic understanding of dataflow.

The for loop will run to completion before any data is available at its output.  So the double indicator will only show the last value = 16.

I have lost track.  Exactly what is it that you are trying to do?

How come I can't see his pictures?  They show up as red X's.

@hlod:  I have asked you before to attach your vi, NOT a picture but the VI itself.  Why won't you do what is asked of you?

[NIquist]

As you might expect tbob, he's completely confused on the whole dataflow concept.

hlod, look at this way to do it with just a while loop.  Do you understand that you MUST have your delay AND your Write to your Agilent device in the SAME LOOP!

Please take everyones advice and take the LabVIEW tutorials:  http://www.ni.com/gettingstarted/labviewbasics/

I saw that!  You figured out the 'Add.vi' would work didn't you?  You're starting to get it!

I would still suggest you look at the LabVIEW 101 tutorials.  Once you get comfortable with LV basics it becomes a lot more fun to program with it.

"Well the last one option is working, many thanks!

Is there any "operator" which replace "increment for +1", because I relaized that I need various increment, not every time +1. So I would like to step for  0.1 or 0.2, or 0.5, or 1....not every time +1. I was looking for last solution!

I tried to replace   i(loop opearation) with numeric v32(so I can set) step but then is not working, logically beacause it is not in loop...any ideas?

Any solution for this?
