For Loop in LabVIEW

 02-07-2019

• The value in the count terminal ‘N’ (an input terminal) indicates
how many times to repeat the sub-diagram.

• Set the count explicitly by wiring a value from outside the loop to
the left or top side

• The iteration terminal ‘i’ (an output terminal) contains the

number of completed iterations

• The iteration count always starts at zero. During the first

iteration, the iteration terminal returns 0.
