Module Channel Name To String

[jthorpe7527]

When I pull a channel into my block diagram from my rio I want it to automatically generate the name of the channel into a string that I can then use to create a header in my write to spreadsheet file.

Just wire it into a string input.  It will coerce to a string.

This will give the data from the channel in a string format. I would like to auto populate the name of the channel into a string.

Jerwil and JTorpe,

Can you provide an example of what you are seeing, because in my tests, the channel name prints just fine.  Start by taking a screenshot and we can go from there.

This is true and to add I have also seen explicit conversions where you can use a Concatenate string (adding nothing) or using a Type Case to a string.  But these shouldn't real be necessary because coercsion should work.
