selecting 1 of 3 exclusive

As you can see I'm a bit more than rusty.  I really do appreciate all the feedback and suggestions.  I will review these things, I am certain that I don't know how to handle the shift register loop to set dynamic attributes, perhaps you could show or point to an example.  I thought I was using an array to display the cells voltages.  BTW, hardware wise, I would rather measure differential voltages than do the array manipulations but I must work within the confines of the project material.  I will be gone for a week before I can get back to this. but I will finish this project for sure.  Truth is I've been working on the LV just a few weeks but the test stand has been running with that Arduino I mentioned and I really want to see the user interface (GUI)

Thanks again

Yes! This is exactly what I need to see and study.   I do not recall any of this technique in my old labVIEW 1 and 2 courses so please keep on dishing up these things I cannot just find them, I would not even know where to look!

Thanks again

You were using a gigantic "index array" to get all the scalars from the array. creating 30 terminals!

All you need is to place one scale into an array container and resize for 30 element. Now you only have one terminal, i.e. 30x less code!!!

(Note that all elements of an array need to have the same scale range and label. Use the array caption to add the cell labels these as a single string above. Here's how it could look like. (array label="cells" and not shown on the FP, array caption="Cell 1   Cell 2  Cell 3  etc.". Don't use a free label to keep things together.)
