hannibal Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi. I am new to LabView. I have to design a circle which can show the direction (such as: North, South, South West,...) and the needle which can move like the picture I upload. I use the Gauge Control but the max and the min line has a distance, therefore it can't display all the direction. Can you suggest some ideas for me? I really appreciate your help.

You get a gauge that does 360deg this way. You can also grab the min value to rotate the entire scale. This could be usefull if you want the 0/360 value at the top instead of at the bottom of the gauge. Quote Link to comment

hannibal Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hey, your front panel is exactly what I need. Can you show me your block diagram? Thanks in advance. Besides I must create it as an internet website. Now I do not know how to do. Can you give me some materials for me to reference? Thanks much. I must design it through LAN first and then via the Internet. That's still the problem for me. So I appreciate all your help. Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Funny that you should mention that. This was actually the front end of a web based weather monitoring station driven totally by the LV internet toolkit web server. I could recall historical data too, although it took a bit more. I'll see what I can drum up, but the directional control was based on a customized control w/ 4 floating text decorations. Quote Link to comment
hannibal Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hey that's fun. So I need more help from you. 'Coz I don't have any skill about that. I try to create something like that. I also have a task to design a virtual weather station. Could you send me that VI or some instructions to program and design it?Could you recall it? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
