How do you make a 3 position toggle switch and 4 position dial?

[nmuniz]

NI has a demo on how to make a 3 position switch on their website, unfortunately it is in LabVIEW 8.6 and I am unable to open it with 2011. Is there a more updated version of this example, or anywhere I can find detailed instructions on how to do this? I am new to LabVIEW, so the more detailed the better.

Why do you say you can't open it?  LV 2011 can open LV 8.6 files just fine.

Post a link.

Don't know, I thought so too. I just get the error, LabVIEW load error code 10: VI version (5.0.1) is too old to convert to the current LabVIEW version (11.0). So maybe this is actually older than 8.6?

[RavensFan]

Yes,  It is older.  It is version 5.0 like the message says.  I'm not sure why you thought it was 8.6.

Searching the forums for "3 way switch" yielded this thread. http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/3-way-vertical-toggle-switch/m-p/219368

To answer the second question:

To make a four position dial, place a regular dial and change the representation to integer (e.g.  I32). Adjust the scale range so only four positions show.

Have you had any luck with that 3-pos toggle switch? I'm using LabVIEW 10 (which also can't open a LabVIEW 5 file).
