set first item in Ring control to value 1

[FischeFr]

can someone tell me how to assign a number to a Ring control value. I want them to start with 1, not 0.
I reached that one time accidentally, but I don't know what have I done ? Please tell me how to do that

You could always just add a Functions->Numeric-> Increment (+1) to the output to up the index.

Alternatively, leave the zero index as a blank value, set index=1 as your first case, then set the Data Range to have a minimum of 1.

I don't think in LV you can bypass the zero index of the ring (wasn't it available in CVI or LWin though?).

LabVIEW 7 allows for rings to have arbitrary numerical values. For instance, you can have apple with a value of 223 and pear with a value of 2.

I am using LabView 6.1
I must be able with this version, too!
I started developing with version 7 and imported it to 6.1 and I have one Ring control which starts with value 1 so I has to be possible in 6.1 as well but I don't know how!

Sparse rings came in w/ LV 7. That control must have been an import.
