Are the read and write operations atomic for an array in a local variable.

Hi,

I would like to know when you access an array in a local variable, is it an atomic operation?

Thanks,

Hi Mat,

Are you talking about Labview ?

What do you mean with 'Atomic'

[mattyG]

Yes labview.

If you don't know what atomic means, here is a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_(computer_science)

I think that in labview read and write operations for any scalar (int,single,double...) are atomic. But I'm not sure it is for arrays.

I think it depends on what level you look at it. I assume you are referring to the application level on which LV operates.

I think you are right for the numbers, but operations on arrays can't be as one operation simply because it can take to long.

May I ask why you ask this ?
