Provide a popup that shows the contents of a D array like an Excel spreadsheet.

Status: New

The current method of viewing the contents of a 2D array variable can be difficult to read if you have many elements.  My suggestion is to add a feature that allows a right click on the 2D array variable and select a popup to see the array in a row/column format.  It would be nice to able to edit the contents with this view as well.

 

I have uploaded an image of a TestStand view of an array and a LabVIEW view for comparison.  Looking at the LabVIEW version, by having the contents in a row/cool format, adding the scroll bars and index display, I can easily see my array contents.

Actually there is no difference, you can still see the data clearly, you can still edit the data.

 

I do agree with you if you are trying to compare the data as seen on a VI front panel and the data as seen in Teststand can be awkward and to beable to switch the display from row/column to column/row and visa vera would be a nice idea.
