Hello, I am trying to learn clusters and the unbundle by name function using a case structure. For some reason my output cluster's wire is broken and it says the error is incorrect data type, but I am multiplying by a scalar, I do not understand why the error is happening and what to do to fix it. Also I have a problem with the case structure. So I want the case structure do something if it is false (As displayed). But, I don't want it to do anything if the case structure is true. How would I go about in wiring and setting up the block diagram for the true case structure? I have attached pictures of my front panel and block diagram. Hopefully I was clear in my question, if not just let me know! I appreciate all help! thank you!

I want the true case statement to do nothing. I literally just want an if false then this. If true then do nothing. Then put nothing into the TRUE case. It really is just as simple as that. Put something into the FALSE case. Do note that *-IF-* you have something coming OUT of the FALSE case (an output from something inside the false case coming thru the case "wall", then you have to supply something for that wire in the TRUE case as well. That can be just a default value, or a zero, empty string, whatever, but you have to supply a value. But that's ONLY if that wire goes thru the "wall".

Hello, Maybe you got the true part of the case right by accident; we can't see what's there but as you didn't mention errors from it, we'll assume that you did get the syntax right. You choose which of the cases to edit by setting the case needed at the top. The left arrow=previous, right arrow=next, down arrow=menu. The wiring on screen will change to show the wiring for the selected case. So try selecting TRUE. The wiring you will see is what happens when the input is TRUE. As there is an output wire from the case, you should wire something to it, perhaps a wire straight across from the input, so you are doing nothing to the input, other than feeding it to the output. If you don't wire anything to the output, you will either pass that type's "default" value to the output, or get an error, depending on a LabVIEW option setting. The default value of a number is zero. Rod

Solved!

I was just going to tell you :Check the outputs of the cluster, that was like the only possibility if you had already taken the others recommendations. It is great that you already solved it. Regards
