2D Array: Add Row & Delete Row

[qtism3]

Hi Labview Community,

My objective is to take in a set of 8 inputs and store it into a 3x8 array where each set takes up 1 row. The inputs are only stored when the "add" button is pressed otherwise the 3x8 array is initialized to 0. I would also like to have the option to delete a row.

Currently, I can add only 1 row into the 3x8 array. When I untoggle the "add' button, the stored inputs disappear from the 3x8 array. How can I change the vi to be able to add multiple sets of inputs and have it update into the 3x8 array. Also, how can I approach deleting an entire row? Feel free to modify the attached vi.

If you read up on these topics, you should be well on your way:

Shift registers

Delete from array

Event structures

• You need to built the 2D array in a shift register.
• Your loops needs a wait
• Your add button needs to be latch action.

Attached is a quick draft to add unlimited rows, one for each "add" click. You can have it automatically stop after 3 additions with a little bit more code. Try it. 😄

To delete a row, use "delete from array" in yet another case.

Thanks guys! I was able to successfully implement my objectives using both suggestions. Now onto the next obstacle!
