The Boolean to Enable_Disable VI converts a Boolean FALSE or TRUE value to an enumerated type with a value of Enabled (0) or Disabled (2), respectively. The Boolean to Enable_Disable VI provides space-saving attribute control within your applications.

The Boolean to Enable_Disable VI outputs an enumerated type (Enabled (0) or Disabled (2)), allowing you to easily see the state passed to your property nodes when using probes or execution highlighting while running your VI.

A small trade-off is that you will see a coercion dot when you wire the 'Disabled Property State' output of this VI to the disabled property of a property node.

Below is an image that contrasts typical attribute control with the space-saving attribute control provided by the Boolean to Enable_Disable VI.
