Problem: How can I easily create a cluster with many elements? Do I have to add each element manually or is there a way to programatically create a big cluster? Solution: You can easily create a single cluster with as many elements as you want by first creating an array of the datatype you want the cluster to have. Once you have your array (it can be a constant or a control), place the Array to Cluster VI from the Cluster, Class, & Variant palette in the block diagram and connect the array. Right-click the VI and select Cluster Size... and select the number of elements you want the cluster to have. Create an indicator from the Array to Cluster VI. This indicator will be a cluster containing as many elements as you selected of the same datatype of the array. You can then convert this indicator to a control or constant and use it as you need. This process can be repeated with different datatypes and the multiple clusters created can be bundled into a single cluster containing everything that is required.
