Having problem with ARRAY organization

[Forhad]

Dear friends,

As a new LabView user, I am having trouble with a very basic array related problem. 

I am working on signal data processing especially with temperature data. I sensor will create thousands of data, however I need to store data into a 1D array with 5 index and everytime new data will come in it will replace the first data.

Example: 

1st temprature value, 10 degree comes in it will be stored in index 0,

2nd temprature value, 10.5 degree comes in it will be stored in index 0, & 10 degree will move to index 1. 

I want this process for upto 5 indexes

And when 6th temperature value comes in it will be in index 0; ..., 2nd temperature data will be in index 5; however, 1st temperature will be out of the array. 

Please help me and your help is much appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance

You want the 'Build Array' function.

Well, you need to rotate the array too, else you run out of elements once it gets larger than the buffer.

You can also use the data queue ptbypt.

Here are thew two possibilities:

Hello MrJackHamilton,

I am so thankful to you for your quick response. 

I need to limit the array size upto 4 indexes and put the new data into index 0, and move out the element of index 4 out of the array when a new data comes in, and this will continue for thousands of data. 

I have attached a file. This might help

Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate your help.
