Never mind... after looking around this is easy....just need to click the "Select VI..." button, not sure how i missed that before.

problem solved by myself...

hi, CK

I you could use the Event structure to complete it

1. create event structure and add event case for Start Control

2. place your VI on this case and select "run when opened"

3 you could also set you sub vi as a dialog

that is it

Hi,

you should place the vi/probe in the 'LabVIEW Data\Probes' or in the 'user.lib\_probes' to get the probe in the menu.

In the '2-Controls' option you can also select the browse option.

Thank U verymuch

I have create many custom probes by myself, when I debug the program I can not select the right custom probe.

when you right click mouse you could select custom probe two items "1 new;2 controls".

I can not find the right probe that I need.

would you tell me why, thanks!

Background:

I have had many people ask for an LED type indicator for their project. During development, I often get asked to have this Boolean (ie 2 state) indicator display one of (more than 2) colours.

Whilst that in itself is not difficult, more often than not I am then asked to make the Boolean LED flash as well to highlight certain states.

For example a single LED will often need to indicate the following states:

OFF (green, red or grey)

ON (Green, red or grey)

Flashing (green, red, any other colour)

I have had so much demand for this functionality, that I decided to develop this XControl and share it with the LabVIEW Community.

Many thanks must go to Aristos Queue and his inspiring "Scrolling LED XControl" example.

Description:

This XControl is a typical Boolean LED indicator that can also be configured to flash between two user defined colours. The flashing interval can also be modified.

When not flashing, the XControl behaves as a normal Boolean LED.

This XControl is an indicator only is is not intended to be used as a control.

Dependancies:

There are no OpenG dependencies for this XCtonrol

Known Issues:

If you save this code for version 8.0/8.2, you may encounter issues trying to assign multiple properties in one property node.

This is a bug in LabVIEW 8.0/8.2

Change Log:

1.0.0 Initial release

Hello Ton,

Saara:

I think you need these steps to complete it.

1. right click express VI

2. select "open front panel"

3.push the dialog "Convert"

4.now , you could read the source code and configure any item that you want
