Case structure help needed~

[altenbach]

As mike already said, it is a single case structure with three cases as follows.

If i correctly understand your question,

its not different case structures, its just a one case structure with different cases.

To add more cases, just right click on the structure and select "Add case after" or "Add case before" and it depends.

Hope it helps!

Hi Simmy,

can you explain it please? If you only need two numbers as output, then i´m sure you can calculate the result you need.

what is happening here is... i am receiving hexadecimal from RS-232, and according to the hexa code, i will have to output certain things... for e example

007A -> simon
0075 -> raymond
0045 -> johnson
001A -> monica

so on and so forth, i have successfully used the method you thought and can get my output, but i need to do tons of cases

Hi Simmy,

you can use a lookup table. Create two 1D arrays. One with the values you receive and one with the values you want to output. Search for the received string in the first array and use the index to index the element in the second array.

sorry, what you just said sounds like alien language to me, i have to admit, i'm not very good in programming to begin with, plus with labview, everything seems so hard to understand, i'm trying my best to learn~

would you mind to show me how it is done? thanks~

Hi Simmy,

see the attached example please.

Hope it helps. Mike

thanks for your help! that is pretty neat, but that would means i have to retype everything all over again haha. but i think this is far more efficient 😄 thanks~

Hi Simmy,

an advantage of this is, that your are more flexible with it. You can read the values from a configuration file, so you need no change in your source code, if you only define some new commands.
