create list of numbers, each digit repeats x times

[Miggy26]

Hi,

I have taken some time dependent measurements and am trying to create a 3D plot of them, but I do not actually have an array of time data. All I have is a 2D array with 2 columns, each with 20000+ elements. These two columns should correspond to my X and Z values in the 3D, with Y being time. It would be simple to create a list of, say, numbers 1-100 and append that to my existing 2D array, but I cannot do that. I have 2048 pairs of X,Z data for a single time, t, so I need to create a list 1-100 where each number is repeated 2048 times before moving onto the next, in order for my X,Y,Z matrix to work.

Any ideas on how to create this list?

Perhaps passing a list with numbers 1-100 into a for loop may be a good start. I am not sure.

Is every number repeated 2048 times?

From my understanding you have a 2048 over 100 measurement times and are looking to build a 3D array out of the results.

You could consider splitting your single large array into however many Y elements you have (in your example 100) so that each page of your array contains the information for a Y value denoted by the page of the array?

From there the problem does become working it back to the 3D graph format. Do you have an example of how you are planning on formatting this graph?

Would something like this be what you are looking to do?

If your list of numbers to be repeated isn't a simple 1-100 just create that array and index that into the for loop to use as your initialize element.

Jacobson,

Thank you very much for your input, they is just what I needed. I thought something with using the loop iteration count to do it but was not familiar with the initialize array node. Had to use build array (set to concatenate inputs) due to my older version of LabView, but you sent me in the right direction. Thanks!
