Significance of Arrays...

 
Can anybody advise me regarding the significance of arrays in data acquistion..w.r.t the time and frequency...
 
thanks for any help.

Well, an array is just of ordered set of identical elements.

Could you clarify what you need?

Not sure what you are asking.
Arrays are a dynamically-sized collection of elements, the elements can be simple booleans or arbitrarily complex structures, some arithmetic functions will operate on arrays (one ADD function will add a single number to all elements in an array, for example).

Ok , my question was -- the significance of arrays in data acquistion w.r.t the time and frequency domains??
 
can anybody help me with this one?
Thanks for any help.

I still don't know what you are asking - your second question is no different from the first.


An array is a sequential collection of same-type entities.


If you want a time-wave record, you can store the sequential samples in an array.


You can use an FFT to convert an array of time-wave samples to an array of frequency-domain values.



Can you spend a minute or two explaining your problem?

Hi Sush,

 

As previously mentioned, arrays group data elements of the same type.  You can build arrays of numeric, Boolean, path, string, waveform, and cluster data types. Arrays are useful when you are working with a collection of similar data and when you perform repetitive computations. They are particularly useful and ideal for storing data you collect from waveforms (data acquisition) or data generated in loops.  Various array functions include array size, initialize array, array subset, build array, and index array.  I am attaching an example VI that shows arrays and data acquisition. Also, refer to this thread as well as this thread for help on arrays and data acquisition.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Best Regards,

My question is simple. It was a better question, may be you could make sense of it.

Thanks

Hi Sush,
 
Just thought I would give you a few more links to threads regarding arrays, frequency, and time domains.  See this thread and this one for more references.
 
Hope this helps!
