Waveform array to double array

[Will.D]

Hello all,

I'm having some issues with the waveform data type...  I have a 2D waveform array (more than one plot), which I'd like to get the Y values out for a few specific plots.  The problem is, all the built in VIs seem to only use scalar waveform data, which for my purposes, would get very cumbersome to get the right Y values out.  Is there some way to just convert the waveform array's Y values to a double array?

I realize that by nature, in a scalar waveform, the Y value is an array, but even if there could be some conversion done where the 2D waveform array converts to a 3D double array that could work...for me anyways.

Thanks for any help,

Geoff

Try this sample. 7.0 format

Thanks for the reply...  Tha't more or less what I've got at the moment.  I just thought there might be an easier way, since my 2D array is 6xvarying number of samples, and I need to get averaged values for 3 of those 6, and it's getting a little messy, and I imagine the number of For loops can't be all that efficient, but I don't know a whole lot about that stuff so...

I guess I'll just make it work this way though!  Thanks again,

Geoff

If you only need a few spcific plots, it does not seem to make sense to extract them all into a 3D array. Couldn't you just use "index array" on the 2D array of waveforms to get the desired plot(s), then get the y component?

Yeah, that's what I have, but I then need different subsets of that array (averaging time specific periods of data collection), and that gets me more junk cluttering up the loops...  I think I may just be complicating things for myself.  Thanks for the advice guys.
