Trouble mapping integer value to boolean array.

[F1_Fan]

Hello - I'm a VB.net guy trying like hell to get the hang of labview and I am stumped 😞

I have an boolean array which represents 7 led indicators. My piece of equipment (which is older than I am) gives a status byte and I am only interested in bits 0-2. The possible values are (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110) or ( 0-6 depending on how you want to look at it) each one of these needs to be mapped to an led. So if the status is "5" I only want the 5th led to go true.

In vb.net I would just quickly type up 7 cases and be done. In labview I'm confused on if that would be the correct approach. It just seems tedious to have to make a seperate array buried in a select case structure 7 times. I must be missing something.

Seven cases? whoah VB is overachieving:

 

I left the labels of the functions on, so you can easily find them.

Sorry I reread your post and it seems like you want to highlight the led# of the actual value, instead of the bit representation:

Here goes try 2:

THANKS!

Works perfect; I had a feeling I needed to use the replace array function but just couldn't get it to work. Of course it now seems so obvious. Thanks again.

Here is an alternate solution:

 

If you want the output array to be only 6 elements then just use a Split 1D Array function.

Fixed it for you. 😄

Oh yeah, forgot about that thread.

I don't have 8.6 but it would be interesting to run those benchmarks under 8.6 to see if there was any change and to update that thread.
