Is there a way to get around having a VISA source and 1D array of VISA session of class sink?

Solved!
Go to solution

I get an error "These cannot be wired together because their data types (numeric, string, array, cluster, etc.) do not match. Show the Context Help window to see what data type is required. The type of the source is VISA session of class. The type of the sink is 1D array of VISA session of class."

 

Is there a way to convert the data so these can we used together? I tried to use "build array" but that does not carry the value correctly.

Hi Learning,

 

mind to share your VI to have us debug your problem?

Best regards,

  1. We need to see your code, not a picture but the actual VI with the error or a scaled down VI with the error.
  2. More clarification is needed:
    1. Are you trying to create an array of VISA resources?
    2. Are you trying to make an array contain more than one data type?
  3. Arrays can only contain one data type if you want to "bundle" different data types together use a Cluster
    1. You can have both and array of clusters and a cluster of arrays.

Can you give me some tips on how to use cluster for conversion?
