You want the LabVIEW equivalent of something like this:

o = joystick;
if  (o > op+d) o = op+d;
else if (o < op-d) o = op-d;
op = o;

... where

"joystick" is the present value of the joystick command
"o" is the output to the motor controller
"op" is the previous output to the motor controller
"d" is the maximum change you want to allow each iteration

where in labview would i put this

You wouldn't. You'd have to take that logic and do something equivalent in LabVIEW.

Do a search for "rate limit". I'm pretty sure there are threads showing how to do that in LabVIEW.

Here's an article by Eric:

... look at the section named "slew rate"
