stepped ramp 256 steps, limit 5V, delay 1 sec for each step

[honey]

dear sir,
i wold like to generate a stepped ramp voltage signal. make it out to computer and want to give it to my hardware circuit.
the specification to the signal is that
it requires 256 steps. each step for 1 second. and in range of 0-5 volts.
i will be highly thankful if give me the details of this i m very new to labview7.1.

Hello,

Using the Ramp Pattern.vi, this is very easy to accomplish. All I did was modify the Gen Mult Volt Updates-Int Clk.vi to use the ramp VI. Then I set the ramp to start at 0 and end at 5 with 256 steps. From there, you just specify the AO Sample clock to run at 1 sample per second and to output 256 samples. See the attached VI. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Sean C.
