I'm trying to create a single pulse waveform by utilising the pulse pattern VI. I then use "build waveform" to try and ensure the pulse has a real timebase (it will eventually be output to an AO card). This works fine until I try and specify a dt. As soon as I do this labview complains about a bad connection in the build waveform VI. What am I doing wrong?
Thats the thing, it won't accept any data type! As soon as i expand the build waveform VI, the play program button shows an error and won't even attempt to run the program.
That's expected behavior. Because the inputs are required, you will get a broken arrow until you wire something up. That's no different than putting something like a case statement on the diagram. the VI is broken until you wire something to the selector.
Thanks a lot guys, just a simple newbie error it was in the end. The whole program is working now, the issue was a the wrong data type after all. Thanks again
