Is there a simple way to create/define an array constant of large values? Say i want a 1D array constantof 1000 rows, with the row values are from 1 to1000. This array will never change while the program is running but will be used many times. Is creating an empty array constant and entering the 1000 values manually the only way?
Generate the array using your favorite technique, read from file, for loop, etc. using an indicator. Find the block diagram terminal of the array indicator, right-click and select create constant. Voila
Easy... populate an array with the values you want -- just run a for loop in a throw away VI to populate -- then right-click on the array terminal on the diagram and select create constant.
Instead of having a constant you could also create a trivial VI that uses a LabVIEW 2-style global (aka functional global, aka action engine "lite") and simply uses the First Call? primitive to create the array the first time it's used.
