HOW DO I RECREATE A LINE OF NUMERIC INDICATORS?

HI ALL
i've a front panel that takes readings from an instron instrument.
column1 shows the number of the reading.
column2 shows when the specimen breaks.
column3 shows elongation.
etc.
All the indicators are in rows but i dont wanna make a row for each reading manually.
I want to know when i take the 2ND reading if labview can create a new row with the new values that are coming in from the the instrument?
eg.

reading number break elongation mod1 mod2 mod3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 value value value value value

Is there another way of putting numeric indicators on because i hav six of these lines & it looks very cluttered with all the indicators pleese help,THANK YOU!!!

I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.
Do you want to present each reading in a seperate row?
If so, you can use an array, which will not look cluttered. You can also use property nodes to control the array size. You can find examples for both in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples).

Using arrays is a pretty basic thing. How well do you know LV?
If you're just starting, I suggest you start by reading the LabVIEW user manual. Also, try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here is one you can start with and here is another. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide.
