Tank indicator display changes in steps

Solved!
Go to solution

So, I have a numeric tank indicator that reflects the volume of fluid inside the syringe. 

The default indicator displays the value after every movement of the syringe (aspirate or dispense). 

I was wondering if I can modify the indicator so that it displays the change in smoother manner, let say in steps; just like the actual syringe movement. 

I would have different sizes of syringes, so it would be appreciated if the solution to the above question can also implement different flow rate.

The tank indicator displays what you tell it to display.  If you want it to display a ramp of values, you'll need to generate those values in a loop and feed them into the tank indicator.  Use a Wait function to slow down or speed up the rate of change.

There is a Ramp Pattern VI that is useful for generating values between upper and lower bounds.  Ctrl+Space to search for it.
