Duplicate Indicators

I would like to have the same indicator on two different pages of a tab control.

 

What is the best practices way to accomplish this? 

 

Ideas:

  1. Create a second control.  Then, tie the value sent to the first control (or its variables) to the second control (or its respective variables).
  2. Create a second control.  On FirstControl.ValueChange, write the value to the second control.
  3. ... some automatic linking feature??

4. Use the same indicator on multiple pages.

 

Instead of dragging an indicator onto a tab control, if you select it and move it with the arrow buttons, it will have a shadow around it and not be part of the tab control. The shadow will disappear  when you run the VI.

 

If you don't want the indicator visible at all times, in your event structure you can hide/show it based on which page is selected.
