Push button which gives data: how to store it?
Solved!
You can start with an empty global array, and an Event Structure (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3331/en).
Make the Event Structure activate every time you press a button (for example, add a case for "Boolean 1": Value Change), and append your value to the array.
I don't know what an "empty global array" is, but you should first simplify your logic. All you need is an array of booleans, an array of LEDs and an array of corresponding values. Here's a quick example.
You did not say how to determine the final array size. Of course you can sto the loop if the array size reaches a certain value.
Sorry for being unclear; I meant an array that is initalized to be empty -- like what altenbach did with the shift register.
It is not a scalable solution. WIth 8 buttons you would need 8 nearly identical event cases, with mostly duplicate code. Way too much work (expecially if you need to make modifications later). Also, since the element is always added to the end, a simple "build array" as in my example would suffice, then you don't need the second shift register. If you need to know the number of elements, a simple "array size" will do.
