Automatically Assign Terminals to Controls and Indicators

[P@Anand]

It would be very convenient to assign the Terminals to the controls and Indicators in the front panel by the following way while creating a sub vi.

1. Align the Controls and Indicators to the Left and Right

2. Place the controls and indicators in the order in which the terminals should be assigned.

3. Select the controls and indicators for those the Terminals should be assigned

4. Right Click after the selection is made

5. Select the Assign Terminals Option (Idea Proposed)

6. LabVIEW should have the Intelligence to select the type (Pattern) of connector pane depending on the number of controls and Indicators selected.

When the option is selected the Terminals will get automatically assigned to the selected controls and Indicators as shown below.

 Am sure that this Idea would certainly save enough time for assigning the terminals to the controls and indicators.

Try looking at this:

You could probably make an RCF plugin which will do it exactly as you want.

There's currently a problem with the download, you can find the actual file here:

Yes they are good... And it will be more good if its an inbuilt feature of LabVIEW so everyone can use it effectively..
