Hi!

I have a stupid question, which i dont seem to find an answer to.

How can i put a label to my wires?

On Labview coursepapers they show >wire name> above the wires, but cant seem to find anything how to label them.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

On the diagram
    1. press "shift" and right-clic at the same time, the tool palette will appear,
    2. select "text tool" (as shown on the picture)
    3. then place your text over a wire, clic and type..



you can't set a proper name for a wire like you do for a control or indicator...

Hope this helps 😉

Yeh.

This i allready knew, but thought there would be some "smarter" way for naming the wires.

Second to novels by Greg McKaskle and similar, I think I learn most from trying to find exceptions to "you can't" replies by some our top contributors.

Right click on the wire and choose Description and tips to associate text with a wire.

The text is only visable in the help window (ctrl-h) with the wiring tool selected.

Technically, I believe TiTou is correct. I only went poking around when I recalled I had posted a product suggestion that would aide in scripting in the event it ever gets released in a supported form.

Thanks for the trick ben 😉

And you are right, I definitely have to teach myself not to say "you can't do this" 

I'm working on it..

Hi TiTou,

This is just TOO appropriate not to mention.
