how to sort out a maximum value in an array


justus

Recommended Posts

I wish to sort out from data obtained from a keithley meter in a 2d array such that I get the maximum of all both on the x and y- axes and get the product of the maximum values. I have tried to use the sort function but it just gives me the last value of the x axis and not the maximum of the x and the corresponding maximum of y. Could someone please help? Regards

In the array functions pallette is the Max and Min of array function. It returns the max and min of what ever you feed it and their indexes.

That seems so simple that I must be misunderstanding your question. Are you wanting to find all the local maxima and minima? That is trickier. I suppose you would need to define "local."

There must be a function or example to do that but I haven't used it.

Yes, your request is a little unclear. Could you post a short 2D table of data showing exactly what you are trying to get? That will probably make it pretty trivial to give you the right solution/VIs.

In fact, the exercise of doing it in a table for us will probably show you how to do it yourself. If not we'll help.

Thanks for the solutions,

I have attached here a table as an example to illustrate. The table has collumns ABC, A and B are readings obtained from keithley meter and C is the product of A & B. C has a maximum value indicated at row labelled D (1.82E-1). I wish this to be displayed as the maximum of collumc C and also display the inputs of A and B that give this maximum.

I have also attached a block diagram to implement this but when I RUN the ARRAY MIN MAX returns the last value and not the maximum.
