How To - Using Arrays In Cognex Designer

This article will show how to create, initialize and populate an array in Cognex Designer.

At first, please note the array has to be created using dimension 1: dimension and size are different values! and you will specify the size by initializing it in a second step.
Setting the dimension greater than 1 will create a multi-dimension Structure instead.

Here how to create an array as a System tag, it is important to check the Make Array Type Checkbox and to select Dimension = 1

then, you can initialize your array in a scriptblock specifying the size and assigning values as:

$MyArray = new type [size]; // example: new double [32]
$MyArray.SetValue(value,index);

if you want to populate the full array you can loop on the SetValue() function.
