custom moving indicator

[asb9ab]

I have an array or look up table that I'm updating.  The data is input someplace else on the VI and when the "Update" button is pressed the data is input into the array based on the current value of other data.  I would like notify the user of the current value of this "other data".  I have tried creating a radio button but was unable to get this to work.  This data is set up as an enumorated constant.  I also tried putting the other data next to the array as an array and blink the current value, but was unable to get this to work either.  I would like the value to pop up, maybe on or with an array next to the appropriate array index.  Please advise.  Thank you.

so you want your new data to be shown someway?

[asb9ab]

I have the data I want to display in an enumorated constant, which is the setpoint for my system.  This is a calibration VI that sets the force of the system and then the calibrator puts in the force he reads off a calibrated load cell.  If he presses "Update" the force he input is put into a new array (the array index is related to the setpoint).  I have the array displayed and I would like to somehow display the setpoint next to the array index related to that setpoint.  I'd like some sort of indicator that is next to my new force array that updates and shows the current force setpoint next to the array index that is being updated.  Ideally, I'd like an indicator like an arrow or something that moved up and down my array display and had the current setpoint value written on it.  Is this possible?  Thank you.

you could use an array of picture ring control

[asb9ab]

That sounds like what I might want to do.  I didn't see this control available.  Do I need to create it?  Do I create the array first and then put the control in it?  Thank you.

here is a sample I made:

and here is one you can control have fun:)

That's exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you so much.  Can I edit that arrow to load my own picture in there (one with a number on it)?  If not, this is still perfect and exactly what I was looking for.  Thanks. 

[Harold_Timmis]

yes you would just have to create your own picture ring control to do.....under the control pallette modern-->rings and enums-->picture ring control

and than if you have an image you want to use just drag and drop it in there I set my arrow to be 1 and nothing to be 0 so you might want to do the same thing.

I made one with an integer slider which can be written to to indicate the index position in your application as desired.
