The benefits of a ring is to group constants of same family, like, parameters of instrument, parameters of process, general parameters, etc.
And having a global variable file for each group will accomplish the same thing. Plug each parameter will be able to be its own data type.

Hi crossrulz,
If I use a global variable file and a I have to change or insert one element, I have to search for all points where I used the control and update it manualy or is it auto-update? There are an auto-update control? How about type defs?

It isn't really updating a ring control. A global variable node is linked to a specific global variable file. So if you add an item to that file, then everywhere you have a global linked to that file can use that value.

I did a test right now, and using global variable files, one for each family of variable, really meets my needs!
Thanks again!
