Store decimal point data into array

[Olataro]

I have a set of data

lets say

"3.45, 1.21, 3.67, 1.23, 4.78"

I would like to store those data into an array. So how would i be able to store them as an array and yet be able to view the data?

I'm not sure what you would be asking about.  It seems like you haven't taken any LabVIEW tutorials by the nature of your question.

I would recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials
LabVIEW Introduction Course - Three Hours
LabVIEW Introduction Course - Six Hours

Hi Olataro,

I would like to know what do you mean by store? do you mean to just write to an array or log the data for future reference(file/database..).

HI guys. Thanks for your reply.

@ravens: Actually no, I've attended 5 day courses on FPGA system of the NI RIO board before. They primarily focus on setting up the board and also conducting timing operations. So unfortunately. i didnt receive much training in initializing arrays using labview (its quite confusing compared to C; especially if you have gotten used to program in c, haha). But, thank you for giving me hte link. I know how to initialize basic array from the youtube video Labview tutorial, but now I'm wondering how to create an array, like that in C programming.

@gogineni: Hmmm, it is kind of like both actually.

The coding I'm used to in C programming is something like this:

" arrayA[5]= {1.21, 1.34, 5.56, 5.32,4.64} "

I would like to be able to change the array easily without having to manually input the data one by one like the method in this video

So basically I'm wondering if there are better methods than this video to input data into an array and store it? without using a numeric control.

How do you have the data now?

You can create an array constant on the block diagram.  You can use a control.  You can save the data in the array control as the default data.

You can use file functions such as Read from "Spreadsheet" file to read the data in from a text file.

While personally I am opposed to such code if you really wanted to the below code snip would work...
