Provides a region of zero output, or a dead zone. output is zero if start of dead zone <= input <= end of dead zone. The largest data type you wire to any input determines the polymorphic instance LabVIEW uses. Details
Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.

![]() |
start of dead zone specifies the low end of the dead zone. |
![]() |
input is the data point the VI processes. |
![]() |
end of dead zone specifies the high end of the dead zone. |
![]() |
output is the processed data. output = input – start of dead zone for input < start of dead zone
output = input – end of dead zone for input > end of dead zone
output = 0 for start of dead zone <= input <= end of dead zone |

If the result exceeds the range of the output data type, the result saturates, returning the maximum value representable by the data type with the same sign as the actual result.
