from table to ring menu

[dphan128]

Hi,

From a data table, how would I extract certain column(s) in table and populate them into my ring menu as items and values, since table would carry those information. And I would like to have them available for operator to make the selection from a pulldown menu from the front panel. Using LV 8.2

Thanks

Beaton,

Pardon me for bothering you again. But how would I combined two "1D-array of string" into "StringsAnd Values" property node of ring menu.

Thanks

Take Ur first 1D Str array as such ( assuming it for [Strings]. and convert Ur second one to Numeric U16 format ( because Ring is U16 ).

Then inside a For loop, bundle them into a cluster ( because Strings & Values [] is a cluster ), and pass the outcoming array from the For loop to the Strings & Values [] property of the Ring.

See the attached VI in LV 7.1 for more info.

Thanks parthabe.

One more question! In my program I need to have two set of values for each selected item. How can it be done ? For example in my case (see attached vi), when the operator select a P/N, the catalog # should be asssigned. And also the cost type should be assigned. Another issue is the "cost type" value is the same for some items. And ring menu doesn't allow same value for different item.

I could hard code the case statement to solve that issue, but then if my table data change from time to time then it won't work. Please advise.

Thanks

Your question is not clear. What is the VI that you attached supposed to show? How are you trying to use the Table2Ring VI? What are you trying to do?

i just would like to use a subvi to realize the ring menu modification depending of the first row of table
i don't have labview on the computer i wrinting now but in few words

i have a table in a programme and a menu depending of 1st row and when the row change
i would like to refresh the ring menu via sub vi, i think inputs are table +ring menu and output the modified ring menu
but i don't succeed to apply...

i hope this is less obscure
