In regards to your question: (get an indicator array to output a DBL?) your array will output the data and data-type that it holds. If your array holds DBL, it will output DBL, same with Strings, etc.
Your first step should be to evaluate the type of data in your array, and if you need to convert between data types, you should study the conversion VIs available. Also, see if you should convert the data going in to the array or convert the data out from the array. Depends which is most suitable. Good Luck - Doug
