I know this has been a problem for awhile, but does LabView have any way yet of creating an enumeration where the values can be explicitly specified? It would save a lot of conversions for me.
No, Enums cannot be sparsely numbered. However Rings can be sparse, but the trade-off is that they aren't strongly typed like the enums. Any numeric including a slightly different version of your ring can be wired to or from your ring. You would be strongly advised to use Typdefs and pay attention when you see coercion dots on your diagram.
