Question Re: Transmitting data to the cRIO from the Driver's station via TCP/UDP

Thanks Mark for pointing me to the right section. One observation and one question remains.

Observation - It may be implied or understood, however, in order to have the Dashboard Main.vi become updated with the changes shown in the tutorial I found myself creating my own dashboard project on the classmate and then manually moving the 3 files created by the dashboard project (C:\Users\developer\documents\Labview Data\builds|FRC Dashboard Project|FRC PC Dashboard) to the C:\Program Files\FRCDashboard subdirectory in order for the classmate to find the new Dashboard Main.vi (did I rename the two original files in the directory late last night before copying?).

Question: I am trying to extend the example to multiple pieces of data rather than just one by trying to use the bundle function in the Dashboard Main.vi function but it doesn't seem to take it. I was able to bundle, flatten to string and input this to the Driver station Set User Data HI function inside my robot project code. Should I be able to unpack this in my new dashboard project or is the Data Hi function simplistic?
