Generates an array containing a ramp pattern.

Details  

	end is the ending value, or final value, of Ramp Pattern. The default is 1.
	start is the starting value, or first value, of Ramp Pattern. The default is 0.
	samples is the number of samples of the Ramp Pattern. If samples is less than two, the VI sets Ramp Pattern to an empty array. The default is 128.
	Ramp Pattern returns the ramp pattern of samples. The largest Ramp Pattern this VI can generate depends on the amount of memory on the DSP target.

EMB Ramp Pattern Details

If the sequence X represents Ramp Pattern, this VI generates the pattern according to the following equation.

x_i = x₀ + ix

for i = 0, 1, 2, …, n – 1,

where x₀ is the start, x = (end – start)/m; m = n – 1; and n is the number of samples.

The Ramp Pattern VI does not impose conditions on the relationship between start and end. Therefore, the Ramp Pattern VI can generate ramp-up and ramp-down patterns.
