USB-6008 configure different analog input ranges

Hey.
Im using a NI USB-6008 multifunction I/O box. Im working on a project were a dynamic number of transducers can be connected to this box. The user should then be able to set the voltage range on each input, as speciffied by the transducer, but if the user chooses to connect only 2 of max 4 transducers, the configuration sheet should only show up 2 transducer option fields, where Max, Min voltage could be chosen from a dropdown menu.

My problem is the following:

1. How can u specify different ranges for each analog input port?

2. Is it possible in labview to have the frontpanel dynamically show only the wanted configuration options, according to the chosen numbers of transducers?

I have attached this preliminary attempt to accomplish the above mentioned project, where I try to specify the ranges. Dont know if this is the correct way to go, but any help will be very much appreciated.

Regards
Ole

The way you've done it, every channel is always configured and used. Here's an example that shows one way that might be used.

Hey Dennis Knutson

Thx a lot. This was exactly what I needed. The way of using the tabs was just brilliant. Haven't figured that out myself.

Regards
