Create a cluster constant on the block diagram by combining a cluster with a valid constant, which can be an array, numeric, Boolean, string, path, refnum, or cluster constant.

1. Place the cluster constant on the block diagram.
2. Place a constant in the cluster shell. For example, you can place a numeric constant in the cluster shell.

When you place objects in the constant shell, you define the data type of the cluster constant.

You also can copy or drag an existing cluster control from the front panel window to the block diagram window to easily create a constant with the same element data types.
