case selection

[scoccer]

Hi,

I want to select different cases based on one parameter, for example,  if 'integration time' is 8 s, then choose case 1, and if 'integration time' is 16 s, then choose case 2, ... Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

Yes.  You can wire the integration time to the Case Selector  (the ?).  Then you can put 8 into 1 case, 16 into another, ..... at the header of the cases.

Thanks very much. Then how can I make the case selector a drop-down selectable manu, instead of an arbitrary integer number?

You could use a Ring control, or better yet an Enum control.

This is pretty basic LabVIEW.  I would highly recommend looking at the online LabVIEW tutorials.

You CANNOT make a case selector as a drop-down menu instead of an integer.

But, you can always wire a drop-down control's value [ Ring/Enum control] directly to the case selector terminal.

For an enum, the case structure will direcly adapt to the data string. Similarly for a Tab control also...
