How to set the deadband in motor vi

How do you set the deadband in motor vi? I would actually like to set a non-symmetric deadband, but can't figure out how to set one at all.

Thanks,

If you are talking about setting the motor controller's deadband, it can probably be done, but I'm not familiar with it. You can get the same effect by putting a deadband inline before the call to the motor. The deadband implementation will be some comparisons that select zero or the number depending on a comparison. The real LV control toolkit ships a deadband VI, but I couldn't find it when doing the servo stuff, so I wrote my own. If you need it much, you may want to write your own as a subVI. That way you can send in one limit, two limits, etc.
