how can i get the highest and lowest data readings from a large set of readings?

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

If the data is in an array, use the Array Max and Min function.

i tried that but it just spits out the last number of the readings .....and its not an array it just a continuous stream of pressure readings but i dont know how to tell labview to pick out the largest and lowest and print it to the front panel.

Hi Veni,

As I understand you, you get continuous scalar values (one number at a time - not an array) and want to keep the minimum and maximum value since the application started. There are different ways to do this but I will show you the easiest way, that DOESN'T involve appending the data to a continuously growing array:



Please try this out and let me know if it's not what you wanted, thanks.

Have Fun!
