I gotta say, this whole thing is a peeve of mine about LabVIEW...  When I right click the array indicator on my front panel, one of the things that appears in the menu is "Data Operations".  Ah!  Yes!  The data!  I want my data!  I already wrote code to slam it into an array, it's sitting there all juicy and ready to be analyzed in Excel.  Yes, I could write more code to export it, but I don't have to do that with a Waveform Graph for instance.  I can just right click it and "Export Data To Excel".  Very sweet.  I'm in a hurry doing lots of what-if testing.  I'll write Excel exporter functions once I figure out exactly what data I want to keep.  I just want to get the data ASAP and plop it into Excel.  So anyway, with the array, I click into the "Data Operations" sub-menu.  Then I see "Copy Data".  Good!  Yes!  I want my DATA!  So I copy it.  Then I go to Excel and paste it.  What do I get?  My data?  No.  I get a little picture showing part of a cell or something.  A PICTURE!  What has that picture to do with my DATA?  It's probably too long to put into the sub-menu, but "Copy Data" should be renamed to "Copy Useless, Frustrating Picture of a Tiny Part of Your Data".
