How to change the number of items displayed on the screen based on user input

[Vitamin]

I need to place a number of input clusters on the user's screen based on the number of input types he will have.  Is there an easy way to do this?  (Say I have 3 different electrodes, I want to be able to add information for each then take this information and add it to a database, this case adding three new record sets to the database.  If I only have one electrode though, I only want one cluster on the screen and only one recordset will be added to the database)

Put the cluster in an array container and selet how many array elements to show using a property node.

Do the saving in a loop, autoindexed by the array of clusters, for example.

Place your clusters in a 1D array and create a property node for the array. You can use the Number of Rows property to control how many elements are shown. Wire the array into a for loop to index it.

To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here, here, here, here and here are a few you can start with and here are some tutorial videos. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf).

And at the same time tst was writing

Well, what would you write?

Anyway, note how Alten only wrote that simplistic answer and how I also took the time to do some research and add all kinds of links.

Really? I thought that stuff was part of your signature. 😮

(One of these days, we're going to give the same wrong advice at the same time... ;))
