Hi i'm using a NI 9481 relay module to control two 12v solenoid valves. I simply want to be able to to have two buttons on the front pannel each with a text display showing "flowing" "no flow" respectiveley depending obviously on the position of the switch.
I have a DAQ Assistant on the block diagram which is wired to read 7 different parameters using the following modules:
9211 - 4x thermocouples
9221 - speed 1, torque 1
9215 - speed 2, torque 2, flow
9203 - pressure 1, pressure 2, pressure 3
So basically i want to monitor a hydraulic system in terms of temp, pressure, flow, and pump speed when i operate two valves 'manually' via the front pannel

Answered my own question
right click on button or switch in front panel, visible items, boolean text. "off" "on" is then displayed when the switch/button is thrown/pressed. i simply edited this to show "flow" "no flow" for my valves
