pass reference to 2D array with multiple rows -> subvi - sees only 1 row of many rows

[MrNatural]

What am I doing wrong?

Hi MrNatural,

can you show a picture or your vi?

If you are doing any array indexing, are you sure you didnt accidentally select 'first row' instead of 'all rows' or something similar?
Or does the array go into a 'For' loop at any point? Because then it will autoindex as well.

Could you please post an image or a VI so I can see whats going on.

[MrNatural]

The attached vi and subvi show the problem.  The array is 5 rows by 3 columns yet the reference's number of rows property is one/uno/un/ichi/ein/1

This time I hope to upload the zip file I intended to upload last time.

The "Number of Rows" refers to the number of visible rows. This is exactly what it says for the documentation on that property (did you read it?). The Array Size property will tell you how many rows the array actually contains.

[MrNatural]

I kind of guessed that but:

  Can't get array size of the reference and none of the properties seems to be useful for that purpose

[smercurio_fc · Accepted solution]

Sure there is. The Value property. Feed that into Array Size. The output of Array Size will be an array - one element for each dimension of your array.

[MrNatural]

Thank you.  It works but, let me say, the solution sure is a typically fussy way to get a simple answer.

True, it would be convenient in this case (and possibly others) to have Array Size as a property. I would suggest submitting this the Product Suggestion Center.
