Why does this loop create a 3D array instead of a 2D?

Hi,
This should be a relatively simple question. I am feeding a 1-D array (1 x 801) in a loop into a build array function and looping it back on itself to build the array. I am rather confused as to why this is producing a 3D array, can someone explain why?
Thank you,
Michael

Where are you seeing the 3D array? If it is at the far right of the diagram, at the edge of the FOR loop, it is because you have the autoindexing set, which is going to make a 1D array of your 2D array data, a 3D array. As the two sub-vi's didn't come with your vi I don't know what the one with the "17" as an input does, nor what the other one does either, other than apparently produce two 1D arrays.

  • Why does this loop used to write values to the parallel port keep going forever?

    Have a look at this VI guys. I'm trying to send a sequence of bits (used to trigger an IC). I'm interested in the last bit of the data port (D0). so I'm sending either 0 or 1 to that pin to trigger the IC. it works, but the problem is that the loop keeps going forever and i cant control it. if i send 3 to the loop count, I'm expecting to get: 1 0 1 0 1 0, but it doesnt stop and keeps going forever.
    It seems that the problem is not with the loop. because i deleted the loop and just left the flat sequence so that it executes only once, but still it keeps repeating. How can i make the flat sequence execute only once?
    I'm using a parallel port monitor (parmon.exe) and a LED connected to D0 of the parallel port to check.
    If anybody has an alternative or better method to send the bits to the parallel port, I'd be very thankful.Message Edited by krayzie on 05-14-2005 04:33 PM

    It works just fine here. Place an indicator to the iteration terminal [i] to watch how things progress. Do the number ever increase above N-1 to what you wire to N? I don't think so!
    Also make sure you don't run the VI with the "Continuous run" button. In this case the VI would immediately restart whenever it is finished. use the "Run" button.

    I'm guessing you created the Enum on the front panel.  If you right-click it and create an indicator, it will match the type, and be an enum.  LabVIEW represents enums as U16, but because the types aren't identical (for example, your enum has 3 values, but a U16 has 65,536 values), LabVIEW automatically coerces (or converts) the smaller (enum) representation into the larger (U16) value.

  • Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder?

    Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder at the bottom of my folders. This is in addition to the standard junk mail folder.

    Hi Michael
    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
    Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
    Just save to your document folder.

  • Why does this little program crash sometimes?

    I don't know if the code of the program is the most important here, I'm guessing I have to learn some extra things to help the program not crash anymore. But what?
    My question remains, still: Why does this little program crash sometimes?, because I might guess wrong.
    The program is a small application that let's you introduce two numbers in 2 text fields (or if you want, there is also a button that generates some random int numbers to complete the text fields for you), let's you introduces the result of the division of those numbers in another text field, and the result of the multiplication of those numbers in another text field. Then you have another 2 buttons that after being pushed, tell you if you resolved the operations right.
    The application runs fine most of the times, but sometimes it just freezes when I push the button that generates new random numbers.
    Why does this happen? Why does this happen only sometimes and not all the time?

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

    Why does this happen?
    What do other people do? (I can't go to sleep knowing there's a rogue album or song in my music. It's 2am now)

    I am on the monthly payment plan because nobody at BT has told me there is any alternative!
    Each year there I have a long, in-depth conversation with the person who sets up the contract for the next year but the gist of the thing is 'I'm  not going to be paying more than [x amount] per month, am I? Because I can't afford any more'' and each year the person says that no, in fact I should be paying less... and then without notice and even with the bill saying 'We will continue to take....' a totally different - and higher - sum disappears from my bank account.
    Then I go through the painful process of writing to complain about this, get some sort of sum refunded and then the payments go through at the level they should, with me paying any additional (usually small) amounts for usage over the allowance. Until contract end when we start all over again...
    Even if the amount they seem to randomly decide on is based on some sort of forecast, this should not be happening as I am doing what they instruct me to do on the bill to keep my payments the same.
    So something is going wrong, on many levels.
    At no point have I been offered the sort of 'monthly billing' described here; maybe there is some reason I am not allowed it. Unfortunately 'whole bill' direct debit payment is beyond me. I really need to know what I will be paying each month and I need BT to correctly take that amount, as agreed, each month, from the get-go.
    It shouldn't be that hard really! Does anyone from BT read these forums? Can somebody take this on and finally get this straight, please?

Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

    Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
    I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

  • HP Photosmart C8180 Printer! WHY does this keep happening every day??

    I have only had this for 3 months and it already has problems.
    It keeps telling me its out of paper when it is not.
    i always have at least 20 sheets in there!
    You can hear the rollers going but it can't pick up the paper and I only use high quality A4 paper in there.
    i then have to pull the tray out and push it back in, and yes i have the paper inserted in there correctly
    also, sometimes when i get this "out of paper" message, i ignore it and just press OK and it works fine 
    why does this keep happening?
    this is disgusting coming from a Quality brand like HP
    think its time to go to BBC Watchdog! 
    A printer is an item meant to print. 
    It is generally helpful if a printer recognizes such out-of-the-ordinary, eccentric, unheard-of media such as...oh, I dunno, 8.5 x 11-inch PAPER?????
    It claims repeatedly to have run out of paper. No paper. No paper. Insert paper into paper tray. Now, granted, the minimalist quality of the paper tray--it holds 20 pages, roughly--might convince you that I had indeed used up all my paper; this is not the case. 18 of the 20 sheets are still there. So I readjust that paper, close the tray. It starts to pull in a piece of paper, and then there is the giant crunchy noise of a paper jam in progress. And forget about “easy access” for removing them, either.
    In the months I have had this printer, I don’t believe it has EVER allowed me to print five pages consecutively without some sort of problem.  To me, this is known as an EPIC FAIL.

    So how is the printer set up?  Is it wireless or USB?  If USB you will need a cable, purchased seperately.  It is a standard A/B USB cable widely available inexpensively.  (The $1 cables form the dollar store work fine....
    Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
