Array into data table +calling it ,wrong data in console

[gentleclockdivider]

I send an array ith the values [ 22,33,44,55] into data table , the array is also calling the table
The table correctly displays the value , but the print console shows otherwise.

It only updates the correct value when gui is interacted ( becasue UI signal is fed back to read data ) , but that should not be a reason why the print doesn't show the correct values when data aray is called ..screenshot 2



Bug ?

We need to convert the data to a signal to call the ui and the order is important
This is how it's done



BUt why convert the array to a signal to just call the table ?
An order module should be enough but it's not because calling the num.table needs a signal
I think this should be explictly mentioned in the info tab

I agree, in that it isn't obvious and so does become a docs issue. Essentially, it works like this because there are several different ways to read data from a table: a single number will be treated as an index, and an array of numbers as an array of indices. `signal`, on the other hand, reads all the data, and saves having to create a big array of `[0, 1, 2, 3, ...n]` just to read all the data at once. I think, in retrospect, this would have been better to have separate discrete inlets, one for reading steps and another for reading everything, but there you go!
