Multi-Dimensional Arrays
For an array with two or more dimensions, you can specify two dimensions as the rows and columns of the display. You also can specify constant values to use to fix the other dimensions. Use the Change Data Slice command in the context menu of the Array Display window to specify which plane of the array to display. The following figure shows the Array Display for a three-dimensional array.
The Array Display window shows a two-dimensional view. By default, the next-to-last dimension appears as rows, the last dimension appears as columns, and the indices of the other dimensions remain constant at 0. Select Change Data Slice to specify the dimensions you want to display as rows and columns and set the other dimensions to constant values. When you select Change Data Slice for a three-dimensional array, the Change Data Slice dialog box appears.
The dialog box shows the size and display index for each array dimension. The letter R indicates the dimension displayed as rows, and the letter C indicates the dimension displayed as columns. The indices for the remaining dimensions, those dimensions not specified as either row or column, remain constant at the specified value.
If you enter an index out of the range of a dimension, an error message appears, LabWindows/CVI coerces the index to the nearest valid value, and displays the coerced value in red text in the dialog box. Press <Enter> to remove the error message. If you want to close the Change Data Slice dialog box without changing the indices, click Cancel.
