moving elements from array to array

[dannn2020]

I tried this, but it still didnt work, so what did i do wrong. (i have it named 'time' instead of tick)

I think it is better to separate the entry cluster form the queue managements. Here's a quick draft.

Extract to a new folder, then open the project, then open the QueueDemo002.vi within the project.

Study it!

I have separated the queue managements from the entries for scalability.

All important clusters are typedefs, so just edit the typedefs to change the contents.

Thank you, but what did I do wrong in the VI attached in my last reply, because im trying to make it so that the time spent in the simulation is also an element in the cluster.

• It is not a time, but a relative timestamp. The elapsed time is the difference between two timestamps.
• Only the relevant timestamp belongs in the cluster.
• To calculate the time for display, you need to iterate over all arrays and do the subtraction before wiring to the display indicator. Never touch the arrays in the shift register for that.
• Your "time" It is still not orange in the cluster and the subtraction of zero still makes no sense!

Ok I changed it into a DBL but how do I fix it.

You only fixed one of my four points. Did you understand the other points?

I strongly (!!!) recommend to not use this architecture, but here's a quick way to fix it using a subVI.

Ok thank you very much this really helped, but that doesn't stop counting when it gets to the 3rd array, So how can I make it stop counting when it gets to third array.

... just modify the code that updates array 3 accordingly!

(I still recommend to not go down that rabbit hole. Use my new code instead!)

One possibility? Makes sense?

Thank you very much this works perfectly, ( But why isn't the 'time' in the the cluster container orange, even though I changed it to a DBL by right clicking on time in the front panel and changing the representation to DBL) it still works fine though, Also what does the in place element structure function do.
