I've created a few VIs using event structures to give a really nice, clean, simple approach to displaying feedback data alongside setpoint data, as well as providing a way to use the keyboard for quick entry of values on controls that may not need a single value or need to be incremented.
The features I'm boasting are:
*single variable for Setpoint and Readout
*click on control for various keyboard entry control features
--'up' and 'down' to increment value (but not set)
--'right' arrow to set current value but yet retain ability to continue with 'up' and 'down'.
--type desired value in (with in-range checking) and sets value on 'enter'
--type another value in to set value again on 'enter'
--end value entry with a double 'enter'
--'escape' key returns to previous value, ignoring what you've typed in previously
maybe somewhere along the line I'll make a video of how this works, because its really quite slick, but for now you'll just have to download the VIs and try for yourself.
