How to parse 2D array between sub VIs

[titibena]

Hi,

I am a new user of LabView.  I want to create different sub VIs which will be called by diffrent VIs.

My problem is to cretae a sub VIs with an n-D array as an ouput.  I can not find any array function in "Control Front Panel" to map this output.  So I try to use a "Variant" function for mapping.  And then in the VIs where sub VIS is called, I have probem to mapping this input "Variant" to a n-D array.

See attached files.

Questions:

1) Is it the correct way?  Is there other solution?

2) If "Variant" is the correct way, then how to map?

Thanks

Hello titibena,

why don't you go the easy way: just use an array indicator?

Have a look at my changed example!

How to add an array control/indicator to the front panel:
1) from the controls palette -> array&cluster -> array
2) put numeric (or whatever you need) control/indicator inside this array
3) change dimension of array

Also easy...

Thanks GerdW.  It fix my problem and help me to understand how to create an array in "Control Front Panel"

An even easier way to create the front panel indicator would have been to right click on the output of the Build Array and select Create>Indicator.
