number addition onto itself

[qle]

Hi,

I'm a new LV7.1 user. I've been able to use it to control some stepper motors successfully for a while. I wanted to count how many steps I've taken but could figure out the algorithm to write it in LV. For instance,

in C++, if you want to increment a number:

n = 12    'number of steps to be added or subtracted depending on which button push

i = 100    'initial number

i = i+n    ' if the "up" button is push

i = i-n     ' if the "down button is push

How do I get this into LV format?

Thank you for any inputs,

Check the attached VI. Certainly you can do it more nicely with event structures. This is only to show you the concept.
