Tunnel conditional not allowed with fpga target. Any alternative?

in LabVIEW FPGA it is NOT ALLOWED to create arrays of variable size!
Arrays need to be fixed in size! (And addtionally only 1D arrays are supported…)
Forgot about that little detail. It's been a little while since I needed to use FPGA code, and I've slept since then. I knew it couldn't be that simple...
But there are no arrays in your original code! Your conditional tunnel is not autoindexing.
As others have said, your code makes very little sense, conditional tunnel or not.

Search LabVIEW like a graph!

Yes, but the original code under discussion had no arrays or autoindexing tunnels. I am not sure why the discussion sidetracked into arrays. (Yes, I could have referenced it more clearly 😉 )
Hi,
it was me talking about arrays - because conditional tunnels (as used in the example VI) only make sense for creating arrays.
When you just need the "last value" after the loop then you don't need a conditional tunnel at all…

Sure you do.
Returning the last value if it the value when the loop stops is a valid use case:

You probably meant "the last matching value".
It gets a bit murkier with a FOR loop that can iterate zero times or if the condition is never true. We probably get the default value which may (or may not) make sense.

Probably, not sure what to make of that sentence anymore.
