timed step change

[Gordyh]

Hi I'm currently trying to change a program that accepts a singe value setpoint input to a range of inputs over time. I have generated this range of inputs from a waveform which has given me a dt value and an array of the y value at each step. 

What's my best way to have each row of the array put into the next section at a time interval of dt between them?

Thanks 

Gordon

P.S.. Sorry if im missing something obvious I'm quite new to LabView.

Hi Gordon

Have you looked at design patterns in LabVIEW yet?

You can find these by going to File > New and then in the 'Create New' folder structure navigating to VI - From Template - Frameworks - Design Patterns.

I think the 'Producer/Consumer Design Pattern (Data)' would be perfect for something like this where you want to write your data to a table at a different rate than you're acquiring the data.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that..... I gave it a try but it doesnt seem to be working (or atleast im not getting it to work)

Ive attached my file in the hope it makes it clearer

Hi

I've taken a look at your code and attached what I hope might be of some use to you.

The idea with the producer consumer loop is that we sample live data in the producer loop at a high rate and then deal with that data at a slower or different rate in the consumer loop. 

I think the problem here is that software controlled timing is only going to allow us to get within a 1ms timing accuracy but the dt timings are much smaller than this therefore the program doesn't really demonstrate or make possible what I think you're trying to do. To get timings more accurate then 1ms I think you will need to use some realtime hardware.

Kind Regards
