Use the Array functions to create and manipulate arrays.

Example

Palette Object	Description
Array Constant	Use this constant to supply a constant array value to the block diagram.
Array Max & Min	Returns the maximum and minimum values found in array, along with the indexes for each value.
Array Size	Returns the number of elements in each dimension of array.
Array Subset	Returns a portion of array starting at index and containing length elements.
Array To Cluster	Converts a 1D array to a cluster of elements of the same type as the array elements. Right-click the function and select Cluster Size from the shortcut menu to set the number of elements in the cluster.
Array to Matrix	Converts an array to a matrix of elements of the same type as the array elements. The data type you wire to the Real 2D Array input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Build Array	Concatenates multiple arrays or appends elements to an n-dimensional array.
Cluster To Array	Converts a cluster of elements of the same data type to a 1D array of elements of the same data type.
Decimate 1D Array	Divides the elements of array into the output arrays, placing elements into the outputs successively.
Delete From Array	Deletes an element or subarray from n-dim array and returns the edited array in array w/ subset deleted and the deleted element or subarray in deleted portion.
Index Array	Returns the element or subarray of n-dimension array at index.
Initialize Array	Creates an n-dimensional array in which every element is initialized to the value of element.
Insert Into Array	Inserts an element or subarray into n-dim array at the point you specify in index.
Interleave 1D Arrays	Interleaves corresponding elements from the input arrays into a single output array.
Interpolate 1D Array	Linearly interpolates a decimal y value from an array of numbers or points using a fractional index or x value.
Matrix to Array	Converts a matrix of elements to an array of elements of the same data type. The data type you wire to the Real Matrix input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Replace Array Subset	Replaces an element or subarray in an array at the point you specify in index.
Reshape Array	Changes the dimensions of an array according to the values of dimension size 0..m-1.
Reverse 1D Array	Reverses the order of the elements in array.
Rotate 1D Array	Rotates the elements of array the number of places and in the direction indicated by n.
Search 1D Array	Searches for an element in a 1D array starting at start index. Because the search is linear, you need not sort the array before calling this function. LabVIEW stops searching as soon as the element is found.
Sort 1D Array	Returns a sorted version of array with the elements arranged in ascending order.
Split 1D Array	Divides array at index and returns the two portions.
Threshold 1D Array	Interpolates points in a 1D array representing a 2D non-descending graph. This function compares threshold y to the values in array of numbers or points starting at start index until it finds a pair of consecutive elements such that threshold y is greater than the value of the first element and less than or equal to the value of the second element.
Transpose 2D Array	Rearranges the elements of 2D array such that 2D array[i,j] becomes transposed array[j,i].
