What is the best way to have an indicator that will scroll the contents of an array that is updated while a program is running?

I have a program that runs continuously. During that time errors are produced and I store them in an array. What is the best way to display the array in a window that the user could scroll up or down while the program runs?

Thank you.

If you unbundle te error cluster you can see the "error number" and the "error description" which can be formatted to a string (some thing like Error 12: bla blah occured here and here(and may be other info also)) and you can populate this to a string indicator on the FP. Now since the string indicator comes with a default scroll bar it becomes easier to scroll around

What I have is a cluster of two elements, where both are 1-D arrays of strings.   I'm trying to figure out how to put the data into a table where each column is one of the arrays.

Hi chuck,

if you would feed both arrays to the table you would also see all those strings in the table

There's a Property Node called IndexVals that you can increment as the data is written. The array index will "follow" the data as it comes in.

 Why does it work with your table and not with mine?

Hi chuck,

enable the horizontal scrollbar on your table and you will notice the difference

Then you can also correct the wrong table header strings...
