National Instruments BridgeVIEW Activity 14-3. Use the Build Array Function

Chapter 14 Arrays, Clusters, and Graphs

Thus, you can interpret the lower left preceding example as a command to

generate a 1D array of all elements at column 0 and row 3. You can interpret

the upper right example as a command to generate a 2D array of page 1.

The new, 0th element is the one closest to the original, as shown in the

preceding illustration.

Activity 14-3. Use the Build Array Function

Your objective is to use the Build Array function to combine elements and

arrays into one bigger array.

Front Panel

1. Create a new front panel, as shown in the following illustration.

2. Place a digital control from the Controls»Numeric palette and label it

scalar 1. Change its representation to I32.

3. Copy and paste it to create two other digital controls and label them

scalar 2 and scalar 3.

4. Create an array of digital controls and label it array 1. Copy and

paste it and label it array 2.

5. Expand the arrays and enter the values 1 through 9 in array 1,

scalar 1, scalar 2, array 2, and scalar 3, as shown in the

illustration above.

6. Copy the array and paste it and change it to an indicator. Label it

1D array. Expand it to show nine values.
