"VME related - Can you develop drop down menus in the panel window?"

[paul_e_a]

I am working on a LabView program to control a VME system. I am using LV 5.1. The program I am working on was mostly provided by the mfg of the VME equipment. The only variable inputs to the program are Board Type (INT), Base Address (HEX), and LED State (INT). I would like to develop some sort of drop down menu that will allow the user to choose the board type and the program will automatically set the values for board type and base address. I am controlling the LED state with a boolean switch. Can this be done with LV 5.1 and if so...HOW???

Probably the easiest way to do what you ask would be to have an array act as a table of values. You can use a menu ring to select your board type. The integer value from the menu ring would be the index of the array with the correct values for that board (possibly an array of clusters). You can then programmatically get the values for the Base address, and LED state from the array.
