Converting a 1D-Array of Cluster (Time + Data) into 2D-Array of Time & Data. How?

[johanneshoer]

Hello,

is there a simple way to convert a large 1D-Array of Cluster (Containing one Timestamp and one Data) into a 2D-Array with Timestamp and Data?

I could index the array in a while loop, unbundle each element and put the timestamps and the data into a new array.

The format of the new array could be an array of double (then the timestamp needs to be converted to double) or an array of strings.

Could I do that without a loop?

Here is a VI. It works, but is there no easier way?

Hello Johannes,

if it's possible to handle your time stamps as dbl-floats, I would suggest to use a simple for loop and the cluster to array function (Cluster_to_Array_Mod1.vi).

If you want to stay with the time stamp data type, again use a for-loop, an unbundle cluster and build array function (cluster_to_array_Mod2.vi).
