Unbundle limit on ring control StringsAndValues?

[VisionGumby]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to retrieve multiple values from various ring controls and compare them against stored values.  I didn't run into anything until my number of values exceeded 9 items.  I've attached a screenshot showing the structure of what I'm attempting.

1. Create property node for StringsAndValues
2. Convert the array to cluster
3. Unbundle

Is there a way to get more than 9 values out?  I tried by name, but the values all share the same index after 7 (=8).

Thanks in advance...

Chris

Right click on the 'array to cluster' primitive and modify the cluster size to suit your needs.

Is there a reason why you convert it to a cluster? Why not just drag down an array index to the size you want.

Simple enough - thanks Troy.

Welcome...

Better still, run it into a for loop extracting out the values and building an array in one step.

That way it automaticall handles changes to the size of the source.

Regarding your question Troy - LabVIEW is not my first language and 'm still coming up to speed on some data types.

I've attached a VI attempting what you're describing and this appears to work.  Is this similar to what you're thinking?

Thanks,

Yep, you have the concept right. LabVIEW makes it even easier then that though.

If you right-click on the input tunnel on the for loop you can turn on or off 'auto-indexing'.

(It changes appearance)

Nice.  Thanks for the assist Troy - I'm going to implement this in a sub VI for my app.
