radio buttons or LEDs for I/O name controls

I'm trying to build a simple application for capturing data with a DAQ. Can I somehow allow the user to select the channels via radio buttons or LEDs?
Currently the user specifies what channels to capture using the I/O name control that appears as a drop-down box or enumerated type (sorry, I'm not sure of the proper terminology). They can click to choose one of four channels, but to simultaneously capture more than one channel, they must type the channel names in the box.
How can I provide the user with a simpler interface, (e.g., four LED buttons) for them to click on and mix-and-match whichever channels they desire.
I'm new to LabVIEW and DAQ cards, so please be gentle with your replies.

Thanks,
Matt

Here is a small LabVIEW example program that will show you one way to create a channel list from LED's. Take a look at it and let me know if you have any questions.

(You will need to change the names of the Virtual Channels in the block diagram to corresponde to yours.)
