How i do export/extract the ring's label out in string and how do i fixed the plot legend color, instead of letting it reset default color everytime the program open

[AxE]

the ring label will output numeric,
but i wish to extract it's label/string too

and how do i change it's label/string?

Hi AxE,

do this with Property nodes:
Right click on your ring control, and create a property node.
Then right click the property node and select "Properties -> Strings []".
You can change it in "Write" or "Read" mode. This will give you an array of strings which are the labels of your ring.
(see the vi attached)

Both (reading and writting) can easily be done with the Strings[] property node.

With an enum, the reading is even easier.

See above example.

Regarding your second question, how to save the color of the plot legend, just choose the color first, then right-click on the graph and choose Data Operations >> Make Current Values Default.

Remember to save the VI after this step.

I hope this answers your question.
