indicators

Is there any way to make an indicator's text or the background change colors depending on what value is has in it (i.e. positive and negative values)

Yes, just use a property node with property numtext.textcolor (or similar, depending on the type of indicator) Similar for the background color if desired.

The attached modifes the font color and should get you started (LabVIEW 7.1). Modify as needed.

You can use a property node to change the background color of a numeric indicator.  Create a property node for the indicator, and choose the property Numeric Text > Text Colors > BG Color.  Set the value of this property to different colors depending on the value in the indicator.

Hope this helps,
