Modulo operator in Labview? (As part of case selector)

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

I'm trying get this bit in Labview:

 

If x % 2 == 0 then

      boolean_var = true

else

      boolean_var = false

(x is counting up by 1 after a certain operation has taken place)

 

My attempt at doing this can be seen in the file attached. It's part of a far bigger code, that's why I only attached a snippet of it. I'm not sure if quotient and remainder is the right function for it.

 

Thanks in advance!

It is the correct operator. However, you simply cannot connect it directly to the case selector. The case selector must be a Boolean, an integer or a string. If you take the output of the Q&R you can either do a comparison for less then 1 (in your case the remainder will always be 0 or 1) or cast the output to an integer and wire that directly to the case selector.

Why are there orange wires? Why are there 3 locals in your image?

And why is there a case structure?

You can use Q&T, but there are simpler methods…
