Split an array in TestStand 2.0

[David@Work]

I have a 2D array of numbers, call it rows, and columns. I want to call a sequence that will operate on a single row of the array. Is there a way to pass a row of a 2D array to a sequence in TestStand 2.01?

Because of limitations of the program I'm working on, I'm being made to use Version 2.01, with a process model that further limits my ability do use some features that 2.01 normally has.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
David

Hi,

The only way is to use a loop and copy the value from the 2D to 1D that you can use to pass to the sequence call. you will have to add another step which has a loop action to create your 1D array. Maybe use a None Adapter.

eg
in your post expression of the step
Locals.Array1D[RunState.LoopIndex] = Locals.Array2D[Locals.RequiredIndex][RunState.LoopIndex]


Otherwise, you are going to have to call maybe a labview adapter step and pickup your 2d array inside your code and return a 1D array. There are examples for all the code types as part of the TestStand examples.

Hope this helps

Thanks. That's pretty much the solution I came up with, but I was hoping there might be a better way.

Hi,

No, pretty basic when it comes to array manipulation. I generally pop into a labview step if I need to do any array handling.
