Ok, loosing the 3D look of the gauge isn't exceptable so I will use the one without a different background for the scale.
Only now a small problem comes up, my boss want's the LV licenses to be
a base package for the other programmers, so this VI should be run and
editable from the base version. For the most things it doesn't give
that much problems only for the depthindicator. Here I'm using a XY
graph, which thank god is functioning alright, after some startup
troubles. So I intend to replace it with the Waveform graph, however
the signals to be displayed are acquired at a rate of 200ms-5sec... On
the screen they don't need to be updated right away when acquired so I
only need a acquistion loop which puts data into a global var on
undefined intervals. Then a timed loop needs to be used to make sure
the intervals for the plot is 1 second.
I've worked something out, only the question is if this is going to
work properly, I clear the last item of the array when the maximum to
display time has past (in this case 600seconds). The only thing I'm not
comfortable with is the way I calculate the warning depth line... Is
there a better way to do this, like the XY graph by using only 2
constant values (one at the start of the scale and one at the end).
