Controls that look like valves, pipes, pumps?

[Frank Holland]

I want to visualize and control gas flow conditions in my instrument
using LabVIEW. Are there any libraries available (freeware if possible)
with controls that look like valves, pipes, pumps, etc.?

Look at the Automation Symbols Toolkit from NI. It used to be sold by
itself, but now may be part of a larger package. It has plenty of just
what you want (but is not free.)

There is the automation symbols toolset for visual basic (active X Controls) and the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control module, both of which provide these symbols. In addition, the LabVIEW datalogging module includes about 3500 industrial bitmaps that can be used to decorate any boolean. Furhter the LabVIEW datalogging module includes a historical database and protocol drivers for popular PLCs. Good Luck,
