Display values of array elements in DSM (Distributed System Manger)

[gmand]

In the DSM help it says that in a watch list (or directly in the process tree) it will not display the individual values of the elements of an array. I have two questions: (1) is there a way around that (short of modifying the code and putting an indicator there), and (2) it seems that this is not always true. Here is a screenshot of the 'Current value' view - I can clearly see the individual values if an integer array shown. We need this for a one-time examination of the values of a double array, which are shown in the front panel with insufficient precision. I was hoping that the DSM will show the full values. Thanks!

Hi gmand,

I just checked with a simple VI to see that DSM doesn't display elements of an array. I'm wondering with what code/how you got that screenshot below.

Depending on your code, you might be able to get away using a probe tool

The code is not mine (it was written before my time), and I wanted to avoid changing the code, that's why I was wondering if the DSM can be of help in this situation. I'm not sure why the DSM is showing the individual values.

Using the Probe Tool is a solution, of course, but that means opening a large code base and changing it (temporarily) just to look as some values. Eventually I had to do that -- simply changed the indicator properties to display with a higher precision, and it worked. To much work though for such a simple need.
