There are two ways to create a bundle; Bundle by name and bundle by order.
I dont know of any reason the cluster order would change UNLESS you created
the two clusters differently. I typically use the bundle by name because it
is so much easier, and I do not have to worry about order. The bundle by name
uses the name of the contol indicator. If you have a cluster somewhere
and use the "create indicator" or "create control" It will look exactly the same
(doesn't matter how you bundled the cluster). As far as the bundle by order
you can right click on the cluster and select "Cluster Order" this will show
the order that will be used in the Bundle / Unbundle operation.
As far as the second question I am not sure what you are putting in the Array.
If you simply want to add all the numbers together use this;
Create a for loop, use the "Array size" to feed the N terminal
Connect the array to the for loop and disable "Auto Index"
Create a shift register on the for loop and init to 0.00
In the loop place an "Index Array" and use the "i" terminal
as the index. Wire the left shift register to an add function, and the output of
the Index array
to the other ADD terminal. Send the add to the right shift register, and also to
an indicator (optional).
this will extract all the values and add them together.
Hope this helps.
