Assign name to constant sting or numeric

I've written a program to train pigeons in lab view but I have a large number string and numeric outputs that are used to record the settings, results and times from the program.  How do I assign meaningful identifiers to these outputs so that I can wire them into and out of clusters by name to cut down on the number of wires running all over a very large program?

 

 For example:

 I would like to assign the identifier “light state” to a string which records the state as either ON or OFF. 

Or

I would like to assign the identifier “trail start” to a date/time string and “trail finish” to another a date/time string.

 

I’m using labview 8.2

Hi Misere,

right click on your control or constant and select show -> name. Insert your meaningful name and you'll see it in the bundle/unbundle by name functions.

 

Hope it helps.

Mike
