Change color of color box depending on measurement values

[Phantom Lord]

Hello,

I'm designing a measurement system which involves measuring corrosion sensors. This is done with DAQpad 6015. Is it possible to let a color box change color depending on the measurement values e.g. if the value is between 10 and 12 green color and let it vary from green to yellow to red depending on the value?

thanks Filip

Hi

You can do this, using a case-structure. Have a look at the attachment.

Hope this helps.

I had my vi change color when the tilt goes negative, you coud try and change this for multiple colors.  It can get tricky figuring out what values equal the various colors.

Hi nutmegzzzz

In you vi you could also use the colorbox-constant instead of the numeric values. So you know which color is set immediately, and you can leave out the comment.

If you are looking for discrete colors (Green, Yellow, Red) to coorespond to certain ranges it is very easy using case statements whose cases coorespond to the various value ranges.

becktho that is a disturbing icon  

I guess you guys "wire" faster, sure a fast response to the question.

This is exactly what I did - or is your solution so different to mine? Than please post it as LV 7.0 so that I could have a look at it.

Why do you think it is disturbing?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for replying nearly as fast as light. This is exactly what I needed. Wasn't that a big deal if you look at it but you have to know it Anyhow it works perfect now.
Thank you again.

becktho, the icon you've chosen is very dark and disturbing 🙂 particularly from some one who seems bright and friendly (lots of helpful posts in the past). Mine is representative of how I feel some days, older than the dinosaurs.

No, your answer and mine are almost identical (I used a slider control as input), that is what I meant about wiring faster, I was wiring when you "won the race" and posted, so you get the "yellow jersey" for this leg of the trip
