DBL or (DBL)

[labview1958]

How to get (DBL)? I can only get the numeric DBL. Where is the (DBL). Please look at the attached VI. It is in LV6.

The terminals on the top appear as [DBL] because they're 1D arrays. To create a 1D DBL array simply place an empty array on the front panel and drag a numeric control into it. You can add dimensions to it by right clicking it.

Any control or indicator seen with [ ] is an array of they type. eg. [dbl] is an array of dbl's, [abc] is an array of strings, etc...

To create an array you can place an array control (From the Cluster and Array Palette) on the front panel and drag a control of the element type you want into the array. Or you can place an array constant (from the Array Palatte) on the block diagram and drag the element type into the array, then use the 'change to control option'.

Hope this helps.
