Arrays with different representation

[STRASS]

This is a terrible question, but I am using Labview 7.1 and downloaded the example #3 from Can Labview C? I can not find the same type of arrays that are used in that vi on my controls palette. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

Its a standard array (look again at the solid blue line). The difference in the look of the icon is this is actually a reference to an array 😃

When I pop up on that array, I can change the data representation. When I make an array, it does not have this option. Also, I cannot figure out how to shape an array controller/indicator that way. Thanks again for your help with this elementary topic

To change the numerical representation of an array, you need to right-click on an array element, not on the array container. 🙂

Example 3 depicts local variables of arrays. Use your plain array terminals instead.

Do you mean the absence of the increment/decrement on each element and no index display for the array? If that's what you mean, the element is the simple numeric from the Classic Controls>Classic Numeric palette. This control doesn't have the increment/decrement part. The Dialog Numeric control is written the same way. Regular numeric controls you can right click and select Visible Items>Increment/Decrement. For an array control, you can right click and select Visible Items>Index display to turn that on or off.
