Hi all,
I'm new here, and new to LabVIEW. I've done a lot of reading recently, but I'm a bit stuck. Apologies if this has been asked before, I've tried searching but I'm not certain what I'm looking for!
I need to make a control which is also an indicator (in the sense that it reflects it's output state as well as an input). I know I can customise standard controls, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any tips, pointers, suggested help topics etc. greatly appreciated.
To explain more clearly: My control needs two states; on and off. When on, the control will open a valve (I've got all that sorted). A micro-switch measures the position of the valve. If the valve has failed to open (i.e. control output and input differ) then I want to indicate this by altering the background colour of the control.
Thanks for any help...
