Look at the radio buttons controls.

Hello Jayatnhi,

I would suggest using a case structure. From your example, your second switch will be wired to the selector terminal. You can use property nodes within the cases to control when the first switch is enabled or disabled (using the Disabled property).

Hopefully this will get you started with the user interface that you're trying to build. If you are interested, you might want to take a look at some LabVIEW training resources. Some of the topics useful for your applicaiton can be found in these trainings. Thanks!

Jayanthi,

I think Radio buttons have got nothing to do with your Interlock requirement.

See the attached VI in LV 7.1, if it fits the need.

I would further suggest you to play with the Property nodes, like what Mike [Duffman] had mentioned in his post.
