Appear one display at a time.

[ennng]

I have two sensors analog and digital and they are connected through a com port by using VISA (one at a time) in labview I have two display one for analog and one for digital. My question now how can I display one at a time ! For example when plug analog sensor I want the only display of analog appear to the user and via versa. Is that possible ! Any idea!

And what's the problem?
if you want to hide one of the indicators, use the property -> visible

Care to give more details about what you are connecting to the serial port?  I imagine they have different messaging protocols.  So you just need to figure out which protocol is being used and update the values that correspond to the received data.

Thank you for your response.
The idea here I have two sensors, the analog sensor send "A" as initial value and the real data, also when I disconnect the analog sensor and connect the digital sensor into com port it will send "D" and then real data.
All works fine but what I mean that I want one VI for display both analog and digital data but when I plug any sensor and run the VI, I want just one display appear corresponding to the sensor that attached in the port. I don't want when I run the VI, both display appear and one of them is working corresponding to the sensor and the other one is just plain and nothing on it?

As I have two displies in one VI, one for analog sensor and the other for digital sensor. I want one display appear to the user corresponding into the port.

Here are some options:

1. Use 2 VIs.  It only makes sense to have a VI for each sensor.  This greatly reduces complexity and is very simple.

2. Use a subpanel.  Sort of back to #1, but the idea is that when you read the first data, you know which GUI to load into the panel.

Thank you very much crossrulz for your replay.
The first option is straight and easy to implement but I want one VI.
The second option I will look at it and if you have example or any similar vi can you please share it.

Maybe you can have a "tab control" with two tabs and Hide the not used page using property node.
