Is there a quartz-looking numeric indicator?

Hello. I would like to use a numeric indicator that looks like a quartz display. You know, where each digit is made out of "sticks", like in a digital watch. I've looked in the standard controls, but I only found the plain ole numeric indicator. I was wondering if there is such thing, maybe a custom control. Thanks in advance.

There is a font available which looks like a 7 segment display.
One of the fonts that is installed is Eurotherm Starburst (Labview 7.1) for example.

You can make your own custom controls as well.

For something a bit more exotic you might try

It doesn't require any custom control - just a font. Try looking at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/5DCD38A1D020155386256DA9007DF506?OpenDocument.

There is also the Fluke89 font that you may want to look at

You can download a 7 segment font from the NI web site.  Check out this KnowledgeBase article:

Have fun with it.
