LabView Challenge : Can you do this?

Question

I have this hardware with three variable parameters : Temperature, pressurre, reagent volume.
I want to create an interface that can allow user to create/edit different programmes - each of which has different values in temperature, pressure, volume.
Eg. Program# |Temp/Cels|Pressure/Bar|Volume/cm3
1. 10 5 150
2. 13 10 200
These programs can be saved and retrieved, modified, and run on the hardware.
I believe u will need arrays, clusters, file I/Os for this..does anyone have any sample code for the above interface? Will GREATLY appreciate your help.. coz my dateline is next week!!!
Thanks a million in advance!
If th
ats possible, how about a graphic interface (wif adjustable meters and dials) so that they can be edited and saved as different programs?
Regards, jymoon

It doesn't sound that hard, but without more information, no one can just put together code for you. It depends how you're feeding the information to the "hardware," whether via an analog out port on a DAQ board, or serial communication, or whatever. As someone else mentioned, if you need it really quickly, you have to either call someone else in to do it, or be prepared to put in some long nights doing a Labview crash course. If you have specific questions, people can help, but general requests for solutions with little else won't net you much, unfortunantely.
My only advice is to not be daunted by the large VI palettes. Just open up some sample code for, say, file I/O, and try to understand it. Have the manuals out in front of you and look up VI definitions yo
u don't understand. And just go for it - the best way to learn Labview is to jump in and do it. Your program sounds like a day or two's full coding at most, so you can burn some time learning and not just writing the final product. Again, if you have specific questions (what's the difference between a cluster and, say, an array) people will be more likely to answer those.
