Digital control switch

[muonlab]

In order to control the number of bins in a histogram, I need a control switch that can choose between numbers e.g.. 2048, 1024, 512, 256, 128 and 64. Does there exist a LabView switch or vi for this action?

a Ring control would be a simple solution

[apok]

can you be more specific about what the control will do?

[muonlab]

The number will choose the number of loops in a for loop, in which the original array is reduced to a subset

still having a hard time understanding...maybe this?

Apok,  That's exactly why we use ring controls like the one in my last post  there is no need for all those lookup tables.

did i just 'rube'd' again?

No real need to look up anything or create an enum.  Just use the Power of 2.vi.

Nah, that won't get you Rube'd, just schooled.  Forum participation is often a source of learning for all of us.   Keep on dishing what you know!

Thank you all for your attention. And Jeff, thank you for your very elegant solution! The students will be grateful for not having to bother with arrays!
