Hi everybody I am hoping for help,
what i basically want to do is the following:
I am controlling Goepel Cascon with my Labview. Depending on the serial number of my tested subject the tests in Cascon vary, so what i basically want to do:
Depending on the serial number I want a dropdown menu that changes its options. The options are not suppost to be programmed hard, but they are supposed du be held in a text file. But if anyone could help me getting a dropdwon menu that changes options as the serialnumber is different every time would be great.
Thanks for any help

Hi mt,
using a ring menu (is this your "dropdown menu"?) you can change its items using a "strings[]" property node.
When you use any of the menu functions in LabVIEW you can also change/create the menu at runtime.
All you need to do is provide the strings for either the ring or the menu. As you already have a textfile you just need to load that text file using one of those file functions…
