Ring Constant: 30 values max? LV 8.0

[OCE]

Hey all,

I'm trying to use 50 pairs but it's clipping me off at 30. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

I can't say I have seen taht issue since I use enum more often than rings and any object that has that many values I try to populate programatically.

can you post an image that show this limit?

Ben,

Thanks for the reply. I literally just started a new VI and entered 50 values as shown. It seems to be very temperamental. I added the 50 values (finally) with no problem. Unclicked the check box next to "Sequential Values" and it did not save my change twice. I then started to change the values to the custom ones that I want and it will not save them. I'm hitting "OK" after I do something, is this not the way to save changes?

Well if you did 50 you did better than me!

I could only get in eight and could add no more.

As a work-around for you...

1) Copy the constant to a new VI

2) Right-click change to control

3) Pop-up create property node >>> Stirngs

4) Create an array of strings and wire that to the Stirngs

5) Run the VI The ring should have all of the values now.

Copy it back to your VI and change it to a constant.

I'm calling it a bug for the time being.

Not a bug.

Had to get one of my instructors to teach me how to use that screen. I told my boss this means I should take all of the LV course over again. One of the CLA's replied "I don't think we cover that."

Awesome, thank you!

Yeah it's a bit tricky. Without the course I'm pretty much winging it.
