Look up array


Recommended Posts

I am new in LabView and needed to create a sort of look up array. I have a pre-defined 4 column 11 row array. First column has the data for wavelength and the other 3 columns have other properties corresponding to the wavelength. I have to create a vi where I can feed in a wavelength value from 0 to 1000 and get the correct 3 properties from the table. The pre-defined array has discrete values of say 100, 200 and so forth but i want to allow users to type in any value in between and get a legitimate result. For instance if users feed 110 as wavelength, the output should be the properties for 100 wavelength. I tried to create using case structure but i end up creating 11 cases as you may find in the attached vi. If I need to add more elements later, this would be useless. Can you please show me any other way of doing it?

 

Thanks!

thanks ShaunR... this is my updated vi. it does the job, however would appreciate more suggestions!

Well. If it works, then it's probably enough. 

 

I'm a fan of graphs and stuff. What would be nice is if you graphed the points and either showed or allowed the user to select, with a cursor, the points on that graph - that's just me, though.
