digital waveform to boolean value

[sunny dee]

Hi, I have a digital waveform and I want to be able to light up an LED on the front panel every time the waveform is high...

What is the best way to do this?

I know there is a vi that converts a digital waveform to a 2D boolean array, but I just want a single boolean value.

Thanks!

Hi

If you have the data, you can convert it using the mentioned function and loop through it.

Hope this helps.

How many individual signals are in your digital waveform?? Do you want the LED on when any of the signals is high??

[sunny dee]

there are 4 digital signals, and I have a seperate LED for each signal.

Hi

In reference to my previous post, you can just leave the inner for-loop, but you have to extract the 4 channels.

Just have a look at the picture.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I am trying to do the same thing.

@becktho recommended the following:

When I try that, I have an error because the digital waveform has different dimensions:

Note that the DI digital waveform is formed by this:

That reads 3 channels of digital in. 

This works but it seems excessive, is it what I have to do?:

Thanks!

EDIT: actually my solution is not working, it doesn't correlate the digital signals to what they "should" be. So what i think should be 2 in the innermost loop is not the output from what I think should be coming out on channel 2. It is actually what is coming out on channel 0.

This seems to do it - but is there a better way?

Whenever you duplicate identical code you should use a loop instead:
