I don't think you can do it directly. For an indicator, you could use a string indicator and use string functions to break apart the digits and add spaces.

There is an idea on the Idea Exchange to add such a feature. Go to Visual Aides - Numeric Separators and vote for it.

I don't think you can. I don't see anyway to do it in LabVIEW 2013.

I am thinking you are going to have to write your own string indicator.

As I want to have the same display for command, I prefer not use text display.

If it is not possible, maybe this display can be post to NI Ideas

For as small of a team as they have to work on LabVIEW, A LOT. Stability has been the main focus as of late. But there are a TON of feature requests. They can only handle so many at a time.

Don't forget to vote for the idea. Every vote will boost the popularity and be more likely they will give some priority.
