Importing data from text file to ring control.

[Jim_Glanz]

Is there a way to import data to a text ring control with labview.

I would like to put in many register definitions into ring controls but manual input would take a lot of time.

Was wondering if there was more of an automated way I could read the values in from a file.

Thanks

Yes you can do it

Or like this if you have a control name on each line.

Using the first method gives you the ability to extend it such that each column specifies a ring control if you need to populate multiple rings.

This example assumes that all three rings contain the same number of elements. If not you will need to create a subVI that removes empty elements. [Edit - create a text file that contains a column for each ring separated by a tab.\
