Default Arrays ( numeric / string / boolean ) - Not to drop each time into array

Status: Completed

Available in LabVIEW NXG, which provides the following front panel objects in Quick Drop/palettes:

 

Numeric Array Input

Numeric Array Output

2D Numeric Array Input

2D Numeric Array Output

Boolean Array Input

Boolean Array Output

String Array Input

String Array Output

 

Additionally, in LabVIEW 2015 and later, you can right-click on a scalar control/indicator/constant and convert it to an array of that type. The reverse operation (array to scalar) is also possible.

 

Not sure if this idea is proposed.

It sounds cool. But what about the Path, Enum, Ring, etc.,? I agree that everytime pulling an empty array and then the Numeric or anyother data type is time consuming, but my point is why it should be restricted to these three.

Or maybe the other way around, put a right.click option on the datatype itself and allow creation of an array instead of a scalar.....

I would give Kudos for this one 🙂

Silver controls have Numeric and String Arrays pre-loaded.

I would also prefer Intaris'  approach in this case..

I just save my own "Configured" controls in my own palette.
