Use ring to select different channels on labview

[studentgirl]

Yes, now I do have that info but if I use a different file to display through this program and if I don't know how many channels it has then how can I extract this information? I used index array to figure out how many channels it has but I am not able to show it in ring menu.

That is absolutely correct. In the other example i provided how to select the channel based on an enum ring.  youll need to change that to a text ring and use what udka has provided. Then also convert from dynamic data to a 2d array so that you can get the number of channels and youll probably want the names of the channel to write to the text ring, but up to you.

-What is your file format?

-Does it contain number of channels present? 

-You mentioned somewhere 2d data, can you give sample of it?

-As you mentioned 6 channels, how you found it is 6 channels?

-One of the dimensions of your 2d array is 6?

Hey udka! My file is captured dat and yes it does have numbe of channels present in it. I found it is 6 channels by using index array through which I found that the dimensions is 6.

Matt are you talking about the example in post 3 or post 8. Also, once I get the number of channels how can use text ring to generate the names of channels. If I am not wrong, do you mean by using edit items option?

[Wolleee]

Yes i was referring to the example i posted in 8 and to change the values and names of the ring refer to udka's suggestion in post 10.

But in the example provided by udka the input to the property node is string array but I have a 2D array. So, what should I connect to 2D array so that I can get the number of channels info and show it in text ring menu?

Sure if you spend some time the links provided in here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Use-ring-to-select-different-channels-on-labview/m-p/3329139/highlig...

Well I spent some time looking at the tutorials but I was not able to find something similar to that. That's why i asked about it but I will spend some more time into it for sure now.

Yes it does.

-If you carefully go through them there are some places you will get data types and arrays.

-After going through i am sure you will.
