make voltage increment automatically

[JoshuaDAQ]

Hi, i'm a newbie here and I'm still not too familiar with the forums so I apologise in advance if this has been asked before.

I use DAQFactory to control the analog output of LabJack U6. I can only increase the voltage with certain interal by continuously clicking the button .

how can I make voltage increment automatically ?

Thank you very much!

Use a sequence. The script would look something like this:

while(out[0] < 5)
   out = out[0] + 0.1
   delay(1)
endwhile

The above sequence will increment a channel (or variable) by 0.1 every second until it reaches 5.

Can I make a button to change the interval of the increase. For example , I dont want to increase by 0.1, I click the button and type into 0.01 or 0.2. Is it possible ?

Sure, create a global variable to store the step, probably by creating a sequence marked Auto-Start and doing a line like this:

global stepSize = 0.1

Then in the sequence, replace the 0.1 with stepSize.

Then in a button, select the Set To Action, and have it edit the stepSize variable.
