variant data

[Nghtcrwlr]

I have  a variant data. See attachament. I tried using variant to data function to get each values inside the variant.

Is there any way to extract or get each values in a variant data type? How is it usually done?

Thanks

If you are using the value of the variant, you pretty need to know what the data type is.  There is a Variant to Data node that you can use.

Not only did you post to the wrong board, you are cheating by posting a bmp file that you simply renamed. Please, you really don't think that a rename will actually change the file format do you?

Sorry Dennis... my mistake. was in a hurry so didnt get time. Should I not post this question in LabVIEW thread? If wrong, where?

I tried Variant to data node. But it didnt work.

You need to wire a Datatype to the Variant to Data to determine the conversion. /Y

You originally posted this in the Breakpoint board.  I had the moderator move it to the LabVIEW board.

Use the context help (Ctrl+H to toggle it on/off).  You will notice if you put your cursor over the Variant to Data node that it explains that you have to supply a data type to convert to.  You can wire anything into the data type, such as an array of doubles.  If you don't supply a type, it defaults to a variant.
