Grouping Data Using Strings, Clusters, Arrays, and Collections

Use the following data types to group data in LabVIEW:

• String —Groups sequences of ASCII characters.
• Cluster —Groups data elements of mixed types.
• Array —Groups data elements of the same type in unsorted order. Includes the matrix data type, a 2D array you can use to make modeling of math problems easier:
  • Matrix —Groups rows or columns of real or complex scalar data for some math operations, such as linear algebra operations.
• Collection —Includes the following sub-types:
  • Set —Groups unique data elements of the same type in sorted order.
  • Map —Groups key-value pairs where all the keys are unique. The key and value can each be any data type.
