I am trying to do a simple basic function of displaying a variable through the prompt box so that the user knows the current value of a specific parameter of the instrument. I tried dragging the variable inside the prompt box, but I wasn't able to do so. How can I do the same ?
Thank you
This is only possible if the number of input is less or known, if it's user defined input which will always vary, the above solution is not helpful.
I want to take a parameter value from device and display it to the user rather than logging it.
Is there a way to do that?
No, there is no easy way to do that. Your user can see the value in the table on the far lower right. Otherwise you will have to "Run a Script" to pass the value to that other program and display it that way. Sorry. I have added this to our list as an enhancement request.

The prompt command does not allow variables to be embedded. You could work around this if the number of possible valid values is not too great by using the if statement along with an "Ask User" command, like this:
Note that by putting it in a "Group" block, it can be collapsed (the double up arrow) so as not to occupy too much screen real estate.
