changing auto-generate array type

[bmishoe]

For various functions available on the array pallete, there is an "array type" input.  If you right click on the input (on the block diagram of course) and choose Create-Constant, it creates an array of type 2D Dbl (at least, that's the standard for the spreadsheet string to array function).

In this particular case, I want the type to be a 2d array of strings.  I know I could create a front panel array control, drag in a string control, and then hook that control up, but how instead can I change this block diagram constant to be of type 2d string?  I don't see the option available in any right-click context menu...again I want to do all of this within the block diagram, not the front panel.

Simply grab the numeric constant and remove it from the array constant.

Then replace it with a string constant.

I normally just start with an empty array constant and place whatever constant type I need it to be inside

Hi!

You could try:

Righ click on the box containing the double number (not the entire array), then replace, then string, then string constant.
