Changing pictures to represent different values

[lorry 82]

Hi,
I have little knowledge of LabVIEW but only need to create a basic program. Basically, I have changing values (currently as a numeric indicator) which are updated real-time dependent on sensors connected to the computer via an A/D card.

However, I wish to display different images (either from *.bmp or *.jpg format, etc) on the front panel which are dependent on the values i am getting through the A/D card. Hence the value changes, and a different picture is displayed.

From using the help file, I think the relevant VI's I need are 'Read JPEG' or 'Read BMP' and 'Draw Flattened BITMAP'. However the wiring seems confusing!

Does anyone know any VI's already created to do this, suggestions, or relevant tutorials
to read.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

PS I am using LabVIEW 6 on a 1GHz Win98 machine.

I have attached an example. You will need to unzip the folder "pix" to c:\ for it to work (or change the paths)
