How to convert a numerical array to LabVIEWDynamicData Type?

[Believer]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to call the statistics express VI from TestStand to get the mode from a dataset.

The dataset is in a numerical array.

Trouble is the Express VI parameter for the dataset is a LabVIEWDynamicData type.

If I pass the array itself I always get back the first number in the array as the answer (incorrect).

So anyone know how to convert the array to this type?

Thanks,

Ronnie

Hey Believer,

In no way is my example the only solution to what you are seeing, but I feel it might be one of the easiest. I have created a zip folder that I am attaching where I take create an array, convert that to DDT, run the statistics vi on it, and then convert from DDT back to a scalar. I have attached the seq file in three versions so you should be able to open it, if not let me know. Thanks again

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the example and thanks for putting it in all those versions.

So it seems that the main way is to use a LabVIEW VI to convert the data.

In the end I 'wrapped' the stats function in a VI and passed the array to the VI.

Thanks,

No Problem Believer,

The funny thing is that was my original test, but I wanted to show you that using the numerical conversion is the best way to go about things. Good luck and have a great day!
