How can I insert a value into the next element of an array

[RichardEynon]

I'm stuck! How can I insert a value into the next element of an array. I have real time values continually updating on the screen when I see one I like, I would like then to click a button and that value is then put with the rest of the values I liked in an array?

You need shift registers and the build array function. Put the build array to join your new value to the existing array inside a case statement controlled by the button which you press when you like a value. The array goes through the case statement to the shift register so that it’s waiting for you to add another element. The shift register is in a while statement.

This is a frequent and fundamental idiom of LabVIEW.

Here's a simple example using an event structure (LabVIEW 7.0).

Thank you for the advice and picture it helped a lot.

Thankyou for the vi it helped. It seems I need to use shift registers more.
