how to custom-make a new LED indicator in many colours.
Solved!

If the temp is 20.5°C, you don't have case for this. it will be better if you use comparative block, every value is in a case.

Hello,
20.5. OK, I see. In a real application using double or single datatype I would miss it.
In my little example I use I32 datatype, so I think I don't miss a value 
.
BTW: no attachment for LabVIEW 8.0

Sorry for my forget 😄
You can find color constants in "Graphics & Sound" -> "picture functions" -> "color box constant"
Color constant is a integer with constant RGB : Blue + Green*256 + Red*65535, with this indication you can create a color variable indicator 🙂
This has been discussed many times before. If you want multiple colors, you want a colorbox indicator.
It can be made to look exactly like an LED (square or round).
Here are some older discussions and examples:
(General Instructions. In your case, you would use the shape of a square LED for the colorbox control)
Using a "colorbox LED" also has the advantage that you can use an array of such LEDs with each element a differnet color, something that is not possible with an array of booleans. In your first example, you would have a single array terminal instead of x individual LEDs, simplifying the code dramatically.
OK, here's a quick example that uses a square multicolor LED (based on Colorbox). Simple, right?
