multiple iteration terminals [i] for a loop

Status: New

I am guessing this idea won't go anywhere, but sometimes it would be really nice to have more than one i terminal in a loop. I cross a lot of wires in ugly ways to get that iteration number to different places and sometimes its hard to track down when i move it around the loop to avoid wire crossing. It would be great if you could right click on loop and say "Add iteration terminal" and then have access to the value multiple places. and maybe another right click option for "Find iteration terminal". Then you could also delete the extras.

 

Even if you could add something like a local variable for it or something that would be great. I know it would be tricky as it can only belong to that loop and so it has to be treated special. But it would be so convenient.   

And let people delete them all if they are not using it.

Yes it would be nice to have 0 or more iteration terminals in a loop. Also we should have "i+1" terminal available.

 

it would be nice to change the representation of the terminal as i8 i16 i32 U32 U64 if we want.

Zero is an option in LabVIEW 2020. You can hide an unused [i] terminal.

That alone is almost enough of a reason to upgrade. LOL
