displaying datas taken from a simulator

[danil33]

Hi everyone,

                     Iam posting this thread because I need your valuable suggestion for the completion of my project.First of all let me explain the aim of my project.The front panel consists of a thermometer and some more indicator devices.Actually we have to obtain values from various sensors,lets take temperature as an example.The temperature sensor senses the temperature value and that value should be read and indicate it on the thermometer.But we have no sensors now so I have provided a simulator which includes some values(vi of simulator attached project1.vi).From that simulator we have to read temperature value and display it in thermometer.For serial port reading we have to follow a particular frame format.I have made a particular frame format but not sure it is correct or not(attached communication Frame format.vi).The front panel UI I wont attached.I searched a lot but can't find how to display the values in analog devices(such as thermometer) from the values read from a simulator.

Please help.Hope your suggestions will help me to complete my project

For format use Buffered data, For fixed buffer data read fixed sumber of character and convert it to number. For Variable size buffer use frame with the frame legth appended in the starting so there is no need of * to differentiate
