split array (function image unknown)

[aurochs]

Hi

I found a tutorial on how to acquire data using Arduino and LabVIEW at https://sites.google.com/site/tuftsroboticsclub/resources/friday-tutorial-series/data-acquisition-wi....

However, I have trouble figuring out what function the red box in the image below represents.

Please advise.

Thanks!

That is an Index Array which has been expanded to six outputs.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Actually I also don't know what function is the "# to 999" box right below the "Front head".

Can you explain that one also to me?

In general, is there a list of function icons I can refer to?

That is "string to decimal number".

If you want to figure out what different functions do, browse through the palettes with the Context Help window open.  (Ctrl-H).

Thank you for the reply. 

It should be "number to decimal string" 🙂 .

The "Ctrl+H" tip is very helpful, but in my case, I don't have the palette.

I only have the image of the VI, so I have to reconstruct the VI back myself.

Thanks again.

You're right.  It is the reverse operation.

What I'm saying about Ctrl-H is to actually open up LabVIEW and browse through the palette's on your own time with the context Help window open.  That way you start seeing some of the function icons and learning a bit about them.  So when you do see a function in a screenshot like above, then you might remember having seen it before and can go into LabVIEW and know where to start looking for it.
