Sine Wave Generation

Hi,
I'm using the attached vi to generate a sine wave to control my motor. My problem is at the very beginning, the motor jumps causing a great amount of torque on the part under test...this cannot happen since this is a durability test. I'm new to using the Contour Position commands and I cannot tell what is causing this. I realize the buffer is getting re-written after the first half of the sine wave is written but I'm not sure how to eliminate the jump. I tried sending a smaller amplitude wave for the first iteration but the jump still occurs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry...jumped too quick...I just changed the cosine function to sine wave generation and the jump at the beginning went away. Problem with that example is it starts out sending a negative point first. Should have analyzed the actual data being sent out!

Thanks to all who took the time to read my post.
