Voltage Finite Output Example - Customize Output Array for Amplitude

[Miller37]

Hello.

I am using the Voltage Finite Output example program to generate a 400 ms triangle pulse . In the program, I want to use a drop down menu to select a trial name. Each trial has a specific amplitude. I want to change the amplitude of the triangle pulse based on the trial selected. What is the most efficient method to accomplish this task?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Emily

I can't open your LV 19 code here, but here's a pretty easy thing that comes to mind:

1. I'd code up a normalized triangle pulse with amplitude=1.0

2. I'd use something like a GUI "menu ring" to associate the trial name string with a numeric gain value for scaling the pulse amplitude.  (You'll probably want to change the menu ring's type from integer to DBL).

3. The user selects the trial name on the front panel, the block diagram uses the numeric value to multiply by the normalized pulse data from step 1 above.

Attached is a simple example of such a menu ring, no code, smallest vi I've ever saved I think.
