Pull-down menu for Ring-Constants in module parameter settings?

[Ryan@Work]

Hey all,

I have a labview VI that has a ring-constant as a control.  When I call this VI as an action in teststand and go to the module parameters, then I must enter in a number (I32) instead of having a pull-down menu containing my list of items.  This is particularly annoying because I have to reference the VI to match a number to an item name.  So far, the only way I've been able to get a pull-down menu in the module parameters is by using a enum constant as a labview control, but this doesn't work for me because the item values are not sequential.  Has anyone found a way around this?

Hello Ryan,

To my knowledge, there is no way of getting a Ring Control to show up as a pull-down menu in TestStand as with the Enum Control.

However, as a workaround, you could create an Enum Control that contains the same menu items as your Ring Control and use the Enum as your TestStand parameter to set the value of your Ring Control. Please see the attached VI. Set the Enum Control and run the VI. The Ring Control will match the Enum Control.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks for the reply.  This will work for what I needed.
