Enums and loops

[a_olme]

Hello,

How do I loop thru all items in a enum. I have some instrument drivers which selects senors with enums and now i want to loop thru all sensors.

An enum has a numeric representation. You can right click on a enum control and select Visible Items>Digital Display if you want to know the numeric values assigned to each string value. All you have to do for example, is to wire the iteration terminal of a while or for loop to the enum input of the driver.

On your VI diagram, right click on the enum control and select Create->Property Node, then select the property "Strings[]". This will return an array of all the choices in the enum. You can then feed this array to a For loop and inside that put a case statement for each possible choice (if each choice does something different). Inside the For loop, you can program whatever you want, actually.

Is this more what you're looking for?
