Dynamically populate a ring and then select a default value

[aashnaw]

I have a ring that I clear every time the VI is started and then I dynamically populate the options based on the device connected.

I am trying to select the first option in the ring as the default value. Any ideas on how I can do that?

I tried using an event structure based, where the default value is selected after a 2 second timeout and the other values are selected based on value changes in the ring. However, I do not want to set a time limit on the default value.

After updating the options set the value to 0 as shown below. In case you want to fire an event then you can use value (signaling) and it wont need a timeout.
