Hello Silversky,

 

Don't worry for your english, I'm pretty sure I understood your concerns. In other words, you are wondering how to have a custom control to show up only the waveform signal and overlap it on a custom image representing an oscilloscope. This is a very challenging cosmetic task at first, however you can get the best form using Custom Controls and achieve your task:

 

Customizing NI LabVIEW Controls and Indicators

 

Customizing the Gauge Control in LabVIEW

 

Moreover. I attached a Type Def showing how to customize a Waveform Graph close to the way your are looking for.

Have a great day and let me know if you need additional help.

Best regards


Matteo

Hi, thanks for the reply 🙂 and the example, but i need an invisible control that show only the waveform so i can overlap it on my image, without grid or numbers.

You can use the color tool to set the prame and plot area color to transparent.

Edit the Graphs properties to disable vertical and horizontal grids and the code here to display a background image in you plot area (right clic on the graph >> properties >> Sclaes tab >> Grid style and color).

Is this what you have in mind?

Hope this helps
