Like this it would be possible for example to create a function that returns the 1st array element, no matter what type it is.
This function is called "index array", but unfortunately you get the first element for 1D, first row for 2D first plane for 3D. etc. Since you seem to want only the first scalar elements (assuming memory order), the code will depend on the number of dimensions and you would probably need the type specialization structure and LabVIEW 2017+.
What is the practical use of that function? Why do you need it and why isn't it sufficient to just use index array with a zero wired to all indices?
I think that was just an example for clarification.
