Detect Dial Needle finished value changing?

[tadders]

Hi all,

Is there any way of detecting when a Dial Needle has finished changing value?

I'm trying to create a VI to request a bearing change.

I don't want to swamp the control unit with a request for each change in the Dial Needle so I'm using Mouse Events.

I can use Dial: Mouse Up and Dial: Mouse Left to request a new bearing change.

However, you can still move the Needle when it is outside the Dial, which does not result in a bearing change request.

I've attached my VI and any help would be gratefully appreciated.

How about just detecting the events and updating the indicator.  I've added "Pane: Mouse Up" to update the indicator if the mouse leaves the dial before dropping the needle.  This'll add a nuisance update when the Pane: Mouse Up occurs due to something other than a needle move, but you can detect that by checking for a change in Bearing Dial value.

Thanks Jim, just the job!
