How do I clone elements in a 1D array?

[ylevental]

I have an array that has single values of elements such as [1,2,3] and I want to convert it to the format [1,1,2,2,3,3]

I'm trying to use a for loop with 2 counts but for some reason it says that I have too many dimensions.

Learn about For loops, indexing terminals (on the input side, they allow you to "step through" your array one element at a time, while on the output side, they "construct" an array for you).  This will certainly be covered in the LabVIEW tutorials available for free (except it does cost a little time and effort on your part).

Let me paraphrase your problem in a way that should suggest a simple (and extremely efficient) solution:

For every element of the input array, put two copies into the output array.  Hint -- you can do this with a single For loop with one other LabVIEW function (guess from which Palette) inside the loop.

There is a simple primitive, Interleave 1D array that would do that for you.

Hope that works!

Thanks!  I didn't even know this existed before you showed me 😄

No problem, there are so many  functions in LabVIEW that its extremely hard to keep up, if not impossible!

God Bless!
