view hidden array constant elements while the VI is running.

[jperch]

Currently, if I have a constant array in a VI and the VI is running, I can't scroll through the array to see what some of the hidden values are.There haev been tons of times where I would like to see what the other values in the array are while the VI is running. I don't need to edit them. I just want to see them.

I have attached an example. Try seeing what is in element 1 or 2 of the array while the VI is running.

I agree with your suggestion, but I can offer a work-around: You can Right-Click>>Copy Data and, creating a blank VI, just paste this "data" onto the FP (or BD). This gives you an array that you can browse.

Probe ?

I shouldn't have to put a probe down just to figure out a constant's value.  It does work, but it is highly annoying because I have to rerun my VI in order to get the value (unless retain wire values was turned on).

Copying the constant to a blank vi would likely work. I had not thought to try that. THank you. But I view that as a pain.

I have used the probe idea. But, as crossrulz suggested, I have usually already missed that. My VI's are such that it would not be very convenient to stop and re-run.

It just seems silly to me that I can't browse through the elements of an array while the VI is running. I can browse through the frames of a stacked sequence structure and the frames of a case structure. Why can't I do the same for an array?
