      <problem>
	<para id="para1">
	  Complete the following steps to use the <code>NI Example
	    Finder</code> to search for an example VI that generates a sine
	  wave with a frequency of
	  <m:math>
	    <m:apply>
	      <m:times/>
	      <m:cn>10</m:cn>
	      <m:ci>Hz</m:ci>

	      <m:times/>
	      <m:cn>10</m:cn>
	      <m:ci>V</m:ci>

	<list id="list1" type="enumerated">
	  <item>
	    Select <code>Help&gt;&gt;Find Examples</code> to open the <code>NI
	      Example Finder</code>.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Click the <code>Search</code> tab and type <code>filter</code>
	    in the <code>Type in the word(s) to search for</code> text
	    box. Notice that this word choice reflects what you want this
	    Express VI to do-filter a signal.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Select <code>filter</code> to display the example VIs that
	    include <code>filter</code> in the title.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Find the example VI called <code>Express Filter.vi</code> and
	    double-click to open it.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Open the block diagram of the VI, shown in <cnxn target="f1"/>.
	    <figure id="f1">
	      <media type="image/png" src="dataflowbd.png"/>
	    </figure>
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Click the <code>Highlight Execution</code> button, shown at
	    left, on the toolbar to slow down the execution of the program
	    so you can observe the execution order on the block diagram.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Click the <code>Run</code> button
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Observe the block diagram. Notice the flow of data on the
	    block diagram. For example, notice that the <code>Tone
	      Measurements2</code> Express VI cannot output data until it
	    receives data from the <code>Filter</code> Express VI.
	  </item>
	  <item>
	    Close the VI when finished. Do not save changes.
