Triangle waveform

Hi all

How to generate a triangle waveform with a specific amount of points in
specific ranges (on STC-DAQ)?

Robert,
You did not mention if you looked at the Triangle Waverform VI (LV-6: Functions, Waveform, Waveform Generation palette). It has many options for creating waveforms.
Is it able to do what you need?

For waveforms of this type, Robert, you're best to look at the Labview/examples/daq/anlogout/anlogout.llb/function generator vi. This vi lets you set up an analog output as a square, sine, triangle, or sawtooth wave. You can specify the number of points, the min/max values (which is really amplitude and offset). This will do exactly what you want already.

Mark, Doug :

I writed probably my problem not precise ....(english is not my strong
point)
I wont to generate a triangle with specific amount of point,hier I give
an example :
from 1 [V] to 3 [V] -100 points, from 3[V] to 5 [V] - 45 points from 5[V]
to 8[V] -20 points,8[V] to 5[V] -20 points,5[V] to 3 [V] - 45 point and
3[V] to 1 [V] - 100 points - and that is one period,and this six
parts should to have the same slope - this is very important.
(In 'waveform generator' i can set only the amount of points in a whole
period)
The generation of this points is no problem,but then i become different
slops of this parts ... so,I tryed to synchronize an counter with AO(the
more points,the bigger frequency), but it works only for max.50
point/sec.If i make it faste
r,then my triangle looks not like a triangle
.... (I can't change so fast frequency of the counter - based on '
AOchangeRateOnTheFly.vi' ).

Any idea how to get out of this situation ?
