I am using NI-9213 to collect thermocouple data and Labview 2014. On the front panel the user uses a drop down to select the number of thermocouples to include in the test. For example, if the user wanted to use the first 5 thermocouples, the user would select "Dev1/ai0:4"
Is there a way to change this to "thermocouple 1 - 5"
Instead of making the user work in NI terminology, you do it in the background. Allow the user to select a starting and stopping thermocouple or have a listbox to allow them to select what they want to measure and you build the string to pass into DAQ.
