Channel Order from FP Get Configuration Info.vi

[tbutterfieldeng]

Why does the get server list function of this VI return the Channels in alphabetical order instead of physical channel order 0,1,2...? The channels are also sorted in FieldPoint Explorer in this way.

There are several reasons for this. First, Items may consist of multiple physical channels (e.g. the "All" tag). Therefore a decision was made to sort alphabetically.

Looking at my FieldPoint data (8 temp sensor channels), the FP Advise (item name = all) is retrieving the data in channel order (0, 1, 2, ...), but the labels are returned by FP Get Configuration Info.vi in some version of alphabetical order (taN preceeds taBot, so it doesn't seem to be quite alphabetical.) Is the only way I can relate item labels to retrieved data is by creating a tag for each individually and FP Reading each individually?
