Hi.

I know how to create a block diagram element consisting of several controls/indicators with only one "input" (one wire, to be more specific) to it. But how to create three inputs to a single element...

Well, maybe a cluster consisting of three controls is what you need. This is how it would look like on a front panel:

But you would have only one "output" (or "input", depending on if it is a control or an indicator) from the cluster itself in the block diagram:

To be honest, it's a bit hard for me to understand what you really need.

Same ting came to mind.  A cluster with three controls.  Can you elaborate on the " multiple inouts in one control"?  The controlcan either be an input (control) or an output (indicator), but not both at the same time.

That being said, if the cluster is an input, all controls within it are inputs.  You cannot mix them.  (unless you want to cheat, but that is beyond the definitionof controls & indicators)

I want place those three inputs on one panel like thing.and i dont want that numeric control bcoz it is having pull down/ip button.i dnt want that.i simply want a box where i can enter my numerical value

To get rid of the increment/decrement button - right click and select Visible Items. Uncheck "Increment/Decrement"

Wow..  I didn't get that..  I didn't know what the pull down/ip buttons meant. 

Good catch!   😄

Hi

     I've attached one vi here(labview 2009).the front panel is having one radio button and if  I select "test with user defined values" , start frequency, stop frequency and step size altogether should show up on one panel sort of thing.can u verify this code bcoz I'm not geetin the output

[RavensFan]

Because the terminal for the radio buttons is being read outside the loop.  Once the while loop starts, the terminal is never read again, so it is always its original value.

You should also put a wait statement inside the loop so you aren't running it infinitely fast just polling the status of the radio buttons.

PS:  Please use English words u = you, bcoz = because

Attached is a modified version of your code.

As Ravens Fan noted, the reading of the Test Selection control needs to be in the while loop along with some delay. Also by placing the "visibility" property nodes outside the case statement you can set them for each case.

Hi steve,

               In the code you've edited  the three controls are showing up together.that's ok. But the the background of these is not disappearing when we don't select the "test with user defined values".How can I disappear the back of these three controls
