Tab constant

[huskerli]

Hello,

I am wondering that is the Tab constant. I got some information from the Context Help. But did not get much.

Could you help me take a look what the Tab constant for in the .png file

I want to know what it have inside

Thanks.

It is a constant that outputs a tab character. Simple as that. It is not clear what else you want to know. In this case, the code concatenates strings interspersed with tabs as delimiters (there are probably much better ways...)

What does the code do? Looks awful (deeply stacked sequences, tons of sequence locals, right-to-left wires, duplicate code, etc.)

I am trying to document this VI and not sure what is that for this block

I guess my question is when and why I need it

Like the file I had, how can I know how many Tab constant I need  to concatenate string

Thanks

You need it because it seems to be formatting the data into a tab delimited text file.

You only need one. You can branch the wire going to all locations that need it.
