I haven't used pick yet myself, so I can't comment on that part.
The reason I was using a loop was that I was building a time series
out of individual time steps. Because I was also learning how to do
that (CollectSeries and Append), I found it useful to make sure I
could get that right before putting it in a loop. So I did 3
iterations of the loop by not using a loop at all i.e. by repeating
the modules in the VPE window. When I got that right, I felt ready
to tackle loops!
Two thoughts on loops.
I used GetLocal and SetLocal (instead of GetGlobal and SetGlobal).
I mention this for completeness, but I think either pair would have
worked for me.
The other thing may be more important. Since the loop was inside
the macro, I had to think how the Output would be produced
***only*** on the last iteration. I did this by using a Route
directly connected to the Output of the macro and connected it up
like this .....
1st input to Route is connected to the "Last" parameter from
ForEachMember (ForEachN in your case)
2nd input to Route is the thing I wanted to Output
1st output from Route is connected to Output
I hope this helps!
