Limitation in Number of Elements in a Cluster?

Solved!
Go to solution

Someone please enlighten me. I saw a reply that seemed to imply this on another post, but not a definitive answer.

 

I'm having a problem in my VI right now going from an array to a cluster. The problem is basically that more than 9 elements go into my array, I use a simple array to cluster command, and then only 9 elements come out in my cluster. So we're limited by the number of array elements in a cluster? Is this correct.

 

I've attached a simple VI to illustrate my problem. Basically 10 elements go into an array and 9 elements come out of the cluster.

Hi twolfe,

 

just read the help for the ArrayToCluster function. That explains it all…

A cluster must be a set size.  There is no way around that.  But if you want 10 items in your cluster, you can change the property for the Array To Cluster function for the number of elements in the cluster (Right-click->Cluster Size).

You have not attached anything.

 

Unlike the size of an array, the number of elements in a cluster needs to be defined at edit time. All you need is to set the cluster size for "array to cluster" function using right-click..
