Simulate Signal Express VI is sending two periods of the wave per loop iteration - how can I reduce this to one period?

Hello,

 

I've been trying to use the Signal Generator Express VI and DAQ Assistant in order to generate an output waveform, as seen in this NI tutorial video:

http://www.ni.com/academic/students/learn-daq/generate/ (timestamp is at 2:07 for what I'm trying to do)

 

For background, I'm trying to move a piston device using Labview. The sine waveform is intended to move the piston at a smooth speed. For every loop iteration, the Simulate Signal VI running into my DAQ Assistant moves the piston to its maximum displacement and back twice. I cannot determine why this is occuring.

The settings in my "Configure Simulate Signal" tab are as follows:

Frequency: 1Hz

Phase: 90 deg

Amplitude: 2

Offset: -2

I would like my piston to only reach its maximum displacement and return for every iteration of the loop. I've tried adjusting all of the settings within "Configure Simluate Signal" but I can only work in even numbers - sending the piston back and fourth two, four, or eight times, ect.
