compare elements

How do I comare elements in an array and output a T/F?   I want to stop my while loop IF two elements in the array are equal.

Like this with a equal and OR Array Elements function. Make sure the Equal function is set to compare elements and make sure the data type you are comparing is an integer type.

what is the second compare?  i cant find it?

[Dennis_Knutson]

OR Array Elements like I said.

See the 'Search' button on the Functions palette? You can use that. It also seems that you are using LabVIWE 2009. That image is a 'snippet'. You just have to drag it to a block diagram.

I found it!   Thanks!

Now my next question is related but more involved.   How do I do a bitwise compare within the element?   Maybe a bit mask of some sort?

Yes, you can use a mask..

I'm a little confused...  Do you want to implement that as part of the code example Denis provided?  Or is it a different topic?

[bteed@dormanproducts.com]

The code works for the hex compares.  Now I have to use the same code modified for bit compares.  How do I implement a bit mask?

Here is an example of how to do several things concerning bit masking.

You simple AND them together..
