Convert cluster to string

[PauldePaor]

I have a cluster of:

3 Strings

a Timestamp

7 Doubles

a Boolean

2 Numerics

a Numeric array of 4 elements

a String

How would I convert these into a human readable string output?

Dear Paul,

Unbundle your cluster and use "Format into String" with "%d" as format string for numerics.

For boolean, first change them into "1 and 0" representaion and then use the above function as it is.
For the numeric array, use the same function but inside a For Loop so it indexes through each element and converts them. 

Regards.

You may try something like this.

I have shown only for Boolean type. You can expand this according to the data type and convert it to string seperately. Finally you can feed the array to a table.

Thanks P@Anand

Have you got the Vi the drag and drop isnt working?

This is a snippet and you should be able to pull it into a Block diagram if you have LV2013

Hi PauldePaor,

I'd go for a generic subvi that you can reuse for any type of cluster. You'll have to make a case for each control you are using, just use the 'All Class ID's' array to see the ID numbers you have right now. Once you are done you can recycle the subvi for all sorts of neat property controls etc. For example, I use it to make all items in a any cluster a certain color.

Just use the reference as the subvi`s input, and the array of strings as output. Wire any cluster's reference to the input, and out comes the result.

Hope this helps.

Wow, this is actively replied to; P@Anand beat me to it by far!

When I drag the Vi Snippet it just drops the link to the forum

Save the image and then pull the image to your BD.

Also you may use the snippet attached.
