The method that is not used to create a 1-D array involves employing a while loop with auto-indexing disabled. While loops are designed to execute repeatedly based on a condition; however, if auto-indexing is disabled, the loop will not accumulate or collect elements into an array as it iterates. Therefore, the loop will simply run without producing an array result.

In contrast, the first option utilizes an array shell, which allows the user to define an array structure on the front panel and place controls within it, thus naturally creating a 1-D array. The third option leverages a for loop with auto-indexing enabled to build an array easily by collecting outputs during each iteration of the loop. Lastly, the initialize array function is specifically designed to create and initialize arrays, thereby directly contributing to the formation of a 1-D array.

Understanding this can help clarify how different loop configurations and functions in LabVIEW impact the creation and handling of arrays.
