Progress indicator in Front panel.

[Grey]

Hi,

I developed an ATE and installed in the production area.

The production operator has to start the test and wait till the test ends.

It took approx 10 minutes.

In the program I reduced most of the operator intervention and hence the operator need to wait for a long time.

What I want to do is that I need to show a progress bar in the front panel so that the operator come to know approx remaining time to wait.

Any design pattern you guys practice for this type of progress indicator?

Thanks.

I do use state machine design pattern for my application.

temporarily what i did was that i placed a slide indicator in the front panel and every loop iterates that gives numeric value to slide indicator. so if the process going on the slide indicator too indicates the same.

any how thanks for the link Aristos Queue.
