Overview: This VI will build a waveform of a step function with a set number of steps. 

Description:

This VI will build a waveform of a step function with a set number of steps. It uses for loops with shift registers to increment the amplitude of a square wave and then add these square waves together to get the desired waveform.

Requirements: LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible), Hardware: none.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code:

1. Insert parameters.
2. Run the VI.
3. Look at the graph.
