how to dynamically control the indice of an array

[akim_10]

Hi ,

In fact I have two request:

1/

I want to create an array that have different size? depending on user's request!

So I would like to be able to set the indice of the array so that allow the user to have his array with different ligne in is array (1D)!

On my test the number of ligne will be affected by an other application (a for loop used in an other part of my application)!

2/ Is it possible to have two loops "for" that command in the same time a sequence loop (with indexation)?

Hi akim_10,

which values shall the array elements have? You can use the "initialize array" function. What do you mean with your second point?

Hai,

Can you post some more details on what exactly is your requirement or some sample vi's

Hello,

My application is not done as I don't know how to do it! What i want to do is:

Create an array of numbers that will set the timer for diiferents points , for the moment i set a numeric value  for each timer of my sequence!

But I want to have only one timer set by an array that will follow the same loop of my points!

See file attached, the loop "for" is commanded by a txt file for different points and my timer for this point 10 ==> my timer will be then out of my sequence inside the "for" loop commanded by the array ousaide the "for" loop!

I fear that I've misunderstood your intent but, in the event that I haven't, consider this.

The 'control' control I added would be the result "commanded by a txt file for different points".  The 'Timer delays' could be a control on the Front Panel or an array generated somewhere else.

In fact what i need is to create dynamically the array that will command the timer!

if I have 3 points ==> the array should be able to set 3 differents timing on timer

if I have 5 points ==> the array should be able to set 5 differents timing on my timer

That the reason I want to know how I could set the indice of the array (not by changing the form of the array on the front panel

[jcarmody]

That should be easy enough, after I know what the n different timings should be.  How do you know what they should be?  I'm guessing that you want them all different, otherwise you'd be able to use a scalar.

I think you may be confusing array terms here.  You wrote "set the indice of the array" but I'm wondering if you are talking about its size.  You use an index to pick an array element, but you're talking about dynamically creating the array based on the number of points - that's the size.

Yes exactelly, they should be different, so each value of my array should be the timing!

So if i have an array of 3 value ==> the user will be able to set 3 different timing...etc..

you are right, what  I need is to be able to set the size of my array !

sorry for this! so is there a solution?
