need a control

[Peter Nyffeler]

I have a ring control for fixed values of gain 1, 2, 5, 10 and time 0.1,
0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 sec.

How can I access instead of the enumerated value to the associated string or
the corresponding numeric value.

To access the associated string, create a property node and read the String[] property, which is an array of the text items in the ring control. Use the current value of the ring to obtain the corresponding string.

Also, check "Create G enum from C enum statement numCtoG.vi" in Drolet's LabVIEW Bestiary. It can be what you need.

PD: Sometimes I think NI should consider a function to do something similar to what Drolet did in his numCtoG vi. It is very useful.

That is exactly what I was looking for.

May be you can help me on some other points.

1.a Is there a way to see the current value of all property nodes of an
object?

1.b By try and error I changed some properties by mistake.
Can they be reset to values as when taken from the controls palette?

2. On a chart I need increments other than 1 e.g 0.2.
Which the property node name
for scaling factor dX?

With best regards
Peter
