slider indicator

[jay0909]

Hi,

      I wanted to know is there a way to make a slider indicator scale run continously with constant data, as shown in attachment below . If so how to do it ?

What do you mean, run continuously, with constant data? Your attached image doesn't clear up the question. If you mean smoothly, it is a matter of sending the indicator small increments, to get it to move small amounts. While it is  an "analog" display, it is also discrete.

Hi,

      In my project i get some constant values for a short period of time and then it changes to different value for another short period of time. For eg, the slider can diplay 1 2 3 4 5, but the problem is that if the data is 4 4 4 4 or 2 2 2 2 the pointer stucks at 4 or 2 and the scale doesn't move continously. In my project i need to show the mvement of 4 4 4 4 or 2 2 22 or some other constant data.

How do you expect the slider indicator to behave any differently from the data you send it?  If you send a 4, it will display it as 4.  If you send a 2, it will display it as 2.

If you don't like the data you are getting from wherever it is you are getting them from, that is a completely different question.

Hi,

       If the first value is 4, second value is 4 and third value is 4. Is it possible to diplay in a continous manner but not display only the first value?

use chart or graph

A slider only displays 1 value at a time.  So what do you want to display instead of the first number?

If you have consecutive 4's, it's not showing the first 4, but the last (current) 4. Is there some way you know it's the first 4?

Hi,

        I wanna display it like a time scale but with constant values,which i get from a another subvi.  the past values should also be diplayed below either if it is a constant or not. I cannot use graph or chart. Is there any other way to do it?

Hi

if you want to see the past values also, graph or chart is the way to go..slider is a numeric indicator/control that can have 1 value at a time.

else, you can have an array of numerical indicators which get updated with new value either at index 0 or at the end of the array

but, graph/chart would be better

edit: why could you not use graph/chart? they will also give you the time axis!
