How to display thru I/O queried data in a front panel ?

I am pretty new ( needless to say 🙂 I guess ) to LabView 7.

After some practice I can write/read and query my various GPIB instruments thru the I/O Assistant.vi.

I can query the data ( e.g. center frequency and span in MHz of the spectrum analyzer, signal amplitude in --Db with respect to the reference level etcetera ) in the I/O Assistant's popping up token screens.

Now I want to have these A/N data display in the front panel automatically after executing the I/O.vi.
No specialized front panel indicator ( e.g. metering with pointers ) is needed in this stage, just a simple alpha numeric text screen .

I guess I have to use for that a front panel indicator terminal of the " string " type but I fai
l to manage that.

Actually, I haven't made any front panel at all as yet.
I guessed a A/N string text front panel indicator would be easiest but obviously I need help even for this.

I have most of the relevant LabView documentation here and I did study a lot but the wealth on information still confuses me.

Please give me some hints how to make a start.
Thanks !

Sorry, forgot to say, no drivers are there for some of my HP and TEK GPIB instruments.
For those I have ( and want ) to write my custom .vi's thru the I/O Assistant.

Hurray, I got it.
I confused the control with the indicator...
