Add Titles to Rows in a Spreadsheet Array

[jareds]

Overview

The example demonstrates how to add row or column headers to a table and save the result to a ASCII file

Description

2D arrays in LabVIEW are organized that the first dimension resembles the rows and the second dimension resembles the columns of a table.

To add headers to every column you only have to add a row on top of the table, since the row is the first dimension you only have to use the 'Build Array' function.
In case you want to add a header to every row in a table, you first have to transpose the table with the 'Transpose 2D array' function (so rows and columns are switched) and then use the 'Build Array' function and the transpose the table again to reverse the first transpose operation.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW 2012 Base Development System (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. (Optional) Change the data for the column headers and the numeric array as well as the path
2. Select the mode to add the header either to the columns or the rows
3. Run the VI
