Referencing parent cluster inside an event condition on an element

[girish53]

I have two identical clusters (there are many in the real vi I am developing) with change-value event defined on a ring in each cluster, two in total. Inside the event I am writing a string to indicate which cluster I am in. See attached vi.

I can combine all event conditions into one event conditions, but inside the event I want to get the label of the parent cluster so that I can write the appropriate string. Is there a way to get the reference/label of the parent cluster using the reference of the ring (which is passed to the event condition automatically)? 

Thank you very much.

This feels very convoluted!

Can you explain the purpose of all this in simple terms.

(why is there a 10ms timeout event instead of an event for the stop button?  Why is there is a 1s wait in the loop?)

Maybe this can give you some ideas....

If you have "many" of the same clusters, maybe an array of clusters would be more scalable! (not shown).

Here's how that could look like:
