[hugoliang]

Dear All,

I draw a program. That is every loop the random number.vi create a number. I want to update the data in every loop to display the first 5 maximum number and the minumum.

I don't know how to do it. Could you please give me some suggestions.

Every reply is thankful.

My LabVIEW version is 7.1

Thanks!

Hi Hugo,

try those steps:
1) make a loop with 2 shift registers, initialized with arrays of 5 elements, set to 0.5 each
2) in the loop you append those two arrays containing 5 elements and the new random number (range 0...1)
3) sort the resulting 11 element array
4) take the first 5 for the 5 "smallest values" and the last 5 for "biggest values" and feed them into the corresponding shift register
5) next iteration!
