How do I have unque descriptions for a array of indicators?

Hello,

  As a direct result of the MAH-veleous people on this forum I have learned on to make a array of controls and/or indicators. I have a array of 8 LEDS to indicate when a bit is on in the error byte and would like to have a unique description for each bit. I have discovered that when I change the label for one of the indicators, the same lable gets applied to the rest of the indicators. So I have created individual labs for the decorations pallete to describe the meaning of each bit in the error byte.
 Does anyone have a better/easier way to have unique descriptions of an array of control and/or indicators?
Regards,


Kaspar

As has been mentioned many times in these forums, array elements cannot have unique attributes.  You can either use decorations as you described, or display the LEDs in a cluster instead of an array.  If you do this, you can use the Array to Cluster and Cluster to Array functions to help deal with the different datatypes on the block diagram.  When using Array to Cluster, don't forget to right-click the function and choose the number of elements in the cluster!

Good luck,
-D
