Cannot Display Varient Data

[kyle123]

I am trying to display data that is being received from an inertial sensor via activex. It seems that I can read the sensor properly but cannot display the varient data that is being stored. I tried just an indicator to view the data however I get the message: Value->Array(Non-Displayable). If I use a Varient to Data block and put an array as the data type the program will crash. Any suggestions?

Hi kyle123,

are you sure you get your data as an array? To see your data you can use first a variant indicator.

I'm pretty new to labview, how would i go about doing that?

Hi kyle123,

right click on your variant output and select create -> indicator. Do you have a description for the activex function you use? Why do you think you get an array of data?

OK so i put the indicator in and the data box in the front panel displayed: VALUE->ARRAY(Non-Displayable)

I also tried to put the Varient to Flattened String function in and it displayed: OLE Varient

Hi kyle123,

Hi kyle123,

Can you post your vi for lv 8.0? or a screen shot of your block diagram?
