Display message after reaching array's last element

[Loukask]

Hello everyone, I have designed a simulation loop and I want to display a message when I take my arrays last element. For example if we have 60 elements, after taking the element num.60 I want to show a message. I attach my try so you can see where I have a problem. 

Please respond as fast as possible. It is urgent !

Thank you all

Hi Loukask,

use an autoindexing FOR loop to index each element in your array. As the loop will automatically finish you can display a message after the loop has finished…

Other solution if you insist of using a while loop and IndexArray in the loop:

IF iteration count >= arraysize THEN display message

Please respond as fast as possible. It is urgent !

Keep in mind: It's maybe urgent for you, but not for us! Maybe you should learn better planning of your tasks?

I also recommend to take the basic LabVIEW lessons offered for free by NI. It will surely help you to create better LabVIEW VIs…

I don't know if you checked my file, but the problem is that the "array size" generates a 1D array output and when I make a comparison with iteration loop the boolean output can't be given as input to message (enabling). check screenshot.

Hi Loukask,

I don't know if you checked my file,

Yes, I did!

the problem is that the "array size" generates a 1D array output

The problem is you seem to be unable to read the two elements from this 1D array.

Did you heard of the IndexArray function before? Did I mention the LabVIEW basics courses before?

(Other solution: use the MatrixSize function on your 2D array…)

Btw. is there a special reason to make your index counter a DBL? IndexArray expects I32 values for indices…

If you want it to run after the main While loop, then you should place it outside of the While loop (as GerdW's first suggestion suggested) and you can enforce data dependency by using the Stop boolean as an Enable switch.

You are only reading the first element of each row, so instead of working with a 2D array, slice out the first column (using index array) right after reading the file. Now you have a 1D array and the size is a scalar, not an array.
