how to use shift register with array of string?

[chips]

Hello everyone

I am trying to convert string to byte array, append length of the string before the whole array and insert 127 between each values in array.

eg  i want abcd string to be displayed as 

4     (which is length of abcd)

127

97   (a)

127

98   (b)

127

99

127

100  (d)

127

the vi I designed is working only for index 0.

I dont know why it isnt working for other indices.

Any kind of help will be truly appreciated

Thanks

Would like to help but I'm not using LV2011

What are you actually trying to do?  This formatting scheme seems a bit weird.

Drop your flat sequence structure.  It's not doing anything.

Why not autoindex over your byte array and append the 127 after each?

Then insert string length and the 127 at the beginning.

Is this what you're trying to do?

Pardon me I am not very familiar with LV jargons. But isnt that precisely what i am doing! The vi is actually a subvi of my program. Its supposed to pass string with its length to uart through db9 connector. Its working only if i specify the input index as 0. 

Thanks for replying

Try this:

The only issue you have here is for the length since it is limited to a sibgle byte.

I like Mark's solution better than mine.

What are you talking to over the UART? 

I'm not sure I understand why you have to pass an index at all.

You should be able to use VISA Write to send strings to your device.

Yes precisely. Thanks a ton. Hey how did you get the second index wire in the insert into array function!? It will be great if you can post the vi
