Text ring strings and values[] and strings[] retrievable in RT application?

[Quiztus2]

I just build an rt application and there is something wrong with the text ring indicator from which I retrieve values.

Do text rings hold no value in a build rt application? What is the replacement?

What is wrong?

Which error numbers do you get?

How does the code look like?

Using property nodes on headless RT targets might become tricky…

Is your RT target headless?

Use any kind of file you like to use to store parameters…

(Or exchange data with your GUI application running on the host.)

I have a json file containing the instrument settings for daqmx. So i match the ring's strings with the json entries in order to get the correct integer. It is a 'funny' design decision from NI to use rings for their daqmx settings, when they are not supported on rt.

I believe DAQmx has only been added to RT in the past few years. They may not have anticipated well.
