I am trying to make an attitude indicator, for an experimental
aircraft that I am building, with Labview 6,01i, but I can not figure
it out. Is there anyone out there who can help me with some tips to
get going???

Thanx

I'm not certain what an attitude indicator looks like. If it is
essentially a gauge, then start with one of those. You can also add
another needle if you need it.

If it is similar to an artificial horizon control, then you might search
for that term on devzone. I've seen these built using the picture
control. If you build polygons for the top and bottom section, these
are easy to rotate with some simple math. You can then draw lines and
scales over the top. I've also seen controls that look like sliders
except the scale is wh
at moves around and the needle stays in the
center. These can be built either by setting the scale properties for a
slider with a line decoration above it, or using the picture control.

Thanks Greg.

It is a artificial horizon I am trying to program. I am still not
quite sure how to do this, do you know any examples on the net or any
references where I can read about this topic?

Hi, I am also trying to find an artificial horizon and have also posted on a few forums. Have you had any success and if so could I have the instrument?

thanks
