large digit display

[Richie Y.]

Is there anyway to have a digital numeric display that is much bigger than the number boxes availiable?

The size of the number boxes depends on the size of the font. Select the text in the box and use the font dialog. Choose the font you want e.g. Courier New and set the size. You are not restricted to the select box for setting the size, type the size in.

If you use Courier New with a size of 256pt you get a number box with the hight of 264 pixel.

Richie,
In many cases it's easier to make the large numeric displays using
picture controls. You make a control number feed into a VI, and in
the output picture indicator you get the numbers.

I'm not understanding your answer...I guess I haven't used picture controls. If you could explain in a little more detail that would be great.
