How to reset a table.

[jabu]

if i wire false it stay in the first row and just keep over writting the data.

[jabu]

i mean true

What i just wrote was kind of confusing. if i wire true to reset it will only store data in the first row and just over write itself. i dont want this i want to see all the data.

Yes, the way you have it set up is not what you really want. You should not call the table express VI every iteration of the loop. You should create an array inside the loop and send that to the table which should be outside the loop.

And you have created a wonderfull race condition.
The reset table and the while loop will process in a unknown order!!!!
Take the time to get the functions you use to know

Like so:

Yes, there is a race condition in there that I did not address. However, you don't even need that reset table anymore, this will work without it.

well it should reset the table first since its the first thing it will encounter. i always run the error line through the program so it knows what order to run things. im sorry next time i will spend more than 2min creating one just for you ton.

No, it's not necessarily the first thing it will encounter. That's why it's a race condition. In this case it won't be a problem because the loop and call to build table will take more time than you setting the table to an empty array. However, this is not good programming. You are never 100% garaunteed that one thing will run before another if they are side by side like that on a block diagram.

like i said before everyone bashes me. I KNOW. gezz.

No one is bashing you. I'm trying to help you. I just wanted you to understand why that is a race condition and can give you inconsistent results. In this case, theoretically the while loop could finish first and set the table to the values 1 to 100. Then it could be reset to a blank table. This is unlikely, but it is quite possible.

Did you get it to work?
