If you can afford to use a simple string label beside the indicator, type W (capital) into the label, then select the text and change the font to Symbol (Windows only!). You can easily enter any other Symbol character using the Character map Windows application.

To show the sign into the indicator is possible (I think: never actually done) but quite tricky.

I don't know if you can mix symbols with regular numbers and text (the old extended-ASCII alt-234 for capital Omega doesn't seem to work), but if you are ok with displaying the symbol in its own indicator, you can set the indicator's font type to Symbol and use a capital W.

Confession time!

I will often just spell it out rather than trying to get the omega to show up.

If my customer insisted, I'd first try to find a font that include the omega and just set the string indicator to use that font.

Hi,

do you really need to display it as an ohm symbol?

Wouldn't an 'R' (or 'K' or 'M' depending upon it's value) do ? For example 5R6 = 5.6 Ohms.

You just need to use a property node.  I've attached a code snippet (new LabVIEW 2009 toy.)

I did not know that.

That nomenclature isn't used much inside the U.S. From what I've seen. Most of us have used/seen it in catalogs or on part markings, but on a panel shown to a casual user or non-EE, I feel you'd be explaining it a lot.

OK you got me!

Feel free to click on that light bulb for us any time. I love those "no code" solutions.
