Min & Max Array

[shubhi]

Hello

I am using the Min and Max array tool to find out the maximum number obtained in an array. 

But it returns to me the last number observed not the maximum one though.

Would be glad if someone can help.

Your loop only runs once. What were you expecting?

What exactly are you trying to do?

From an array which I have obtained from measuring a device, I want to find out the maximum measured value.

That's what the Array Max & Min does.

Yes. But its returning the last value measured , not the maximum one.

What part of "your loop only runs once" was not clear to you? Your array only contains one element. So the "last" and the "max" will be exactly the same thing.

If the code you are showing is not the code you are actually using, then show the code you are actually using.

Hi shubhi,

your FOR loop returns an array of just one element: the result of "No.1" minus "No.2".

From that array (of just one element) you take (an unneeded) subarray and the calc the max of just that one element...

Nowhere in your VI is any control holding your "array which I have obtained from measuring a device"...

How large is your array going into the function?  If it is only 1 element, then you need to look at the issue upstream.  As has been said, your FOR loop only runs once.  Therefore your array is of the size 1.  I'm guessing there's supposed to be more to the example?

Hi All

This is code I am using.

The For loop calculates the difference between two consectuve readings and I aim to return the maximum difference attained from it.

Hi shubhi,

your device only outputs scalar values. Your FOR loop is nonsense - as told several times before...

You have to use a shift register to keep older values:
