Overview

Coding that exemplifies how to change the color of the thermometer respective to its value.

 

Description

Bored by the standard LabVIEW thermometer? Finding the single, solitary fill-color a little disengaging? Yearning for a method of jazzing up you front panel temperature displays? Well, this is the VI for you!


How about a thermometer who’s fill color varies with temperature? Starting at BLUE when the temperature is low, then becoming progressively redder as the temperature rises (Red being the internationally recognized color for “HOT HOT HOT”).

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code 
1. Run the VI
2. Change the knob and see the thermometer varying its color.
3. Stop the VI
