r than 1% of an update period. I'll post my subvi if I'm able, but I may need to password-protect the diagram. If I recall correctly, the inputs provide user options for minimum requested accuracy and maximum allowed N, and there are outputs for N, D, and a boolean to tell whether the accuracy request was satisfied. -Kevin P.

I would guess that a simple state machine/functional global might do the trick for you... design a subVI with 13 inputs (probably best to bundle these) and use a while loop shift register to store which input you're interested in at the moment - then just use a case structure to pipe that input to

Two possible answers for you, based on traditional NI-DAQ. Either should work, though I'd recommend #2 unless there's a specific reason you need to do #1. 1. Add a call to 'Counter Set Attribute.vi' to the configuration chain. The attribute and the attribute value type should be 'up down' and 'h

Just butting in here with a fairly simple idea that doesn't get into any filtering theory. Basically, you would just do a weighted average of the data points near the cycle boundary, and let the weighting factor ramp from 0 to 100% over the set of smoothed points. For example: suppose n is the n
