Set String Length using LabVIEW

[Charlie_P]

Description

Description-Separate-1

1. Overview:

This VI will keep the output string length to Max String Length input by truncating the string to the selected length

2. Description: 

This VI is meant to be used as a subVI.  It was originally used in a streaming application with shift registers.  In order to keep the memory usage from running away with a large string, this VI can be used to cap the overall length (and required memory).

3. Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

4. Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Use this VI as subVI
2. Provide String Input and Max String Length Parameters from the calling VI
3. If the input string length is shorter than the Max String Length parameter the result string will be the same. If it is larger, the result string will be truncated to the Max String Length.
