Find min value of array in time...

[joecarl]

First of all this is not "finding the min value in the array"

This is:

I have an array which changes its values every iteration and I want to compare the new values with the previous values and make a new array with the minimal values...

In C++ it would be like this:

int main(){

  int array[8];

  int min[8];

  int i;

  for(i=0;i<8;i++){

    min[i]=1000000;//Initialize minimun array with a high value

  }

  while(1){

    array=update_array();

    for(i=0;i<8;i++){

      if(array[i]<min[i]){

        min[i]=array[i];

      }

    }

    //do stuff....

  }

  return 0;

}

Im new to labview and it still confuses me a lot...

thanks in advance.

Use of the regular Max & Min function (not Array Max & min as you are aware) with arrays and a shift register will do job nicely.  Max & Min, like most numeric functions, is polymorphic and works witt arrays as well as scalars.
