index 2d array

[nnorth]

Hi, I'm new to LabVIEW and I'm a bit stuck. I have a matrix that represents the grid of a table. Each part of the grid represents a section of the table that I would like to turn a valve on and off for. I have created a 2D array with the inputs for the valves. I have LabVIEW set up so that I have the array. However, I don't know how to assign the different positions in the array to the different valves (I already have the valves imported). I have looked at the index tool, but I don't understand how to use it for 2D arrays, nor do I understand how to create multiple outputs from the single index block. There are 128 ports, so if there is a way to automate the process, that would be preferable.

If you want to index a single elements of a 2D array, you need to wire both indices, else you get and entire row or column.

It is hard to give specific advice if you don't show us your code, but typically i might be easiest to use a FOR loop and autoindex over an array of valves and your array of booleans, for example. How are you talking to the valves?

Please attach a simplified version of your code. Thanks.

Thanks for the response! I was actually able to figure it out from your answer.

Thanks again!
