multi-color controller

[labmaster]

Dear

I want to make an array of three states (+1, 0, -1) boolean(LED type) controller.

As for indicator, it is easy to control the multi colors by property node.

But I believe the CONTROLLER should have some routine.

Any good idea for this ??

There is a vi example from a while ago at:  http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=210467&requireLogin=False

As it was in 8.2 apparently (only have 8.0 installed on the machine I'm on) I can't tell you whether it will work for your needs. I'm guessing that you want a tri-state control to match the tri-state display.

Thanks.

But, I can't open the attachment in LV8.0.

Is it right the example for multi-state LED CONTROLLER (not indicator)?

Thank you again.

Don't confuse the operator of your VI. An LED is typically and indicator and should not really be used as a control anyway. It is not intuitive!

You have many options, e.g. an integer side with three text labels, an picture ring with three pictures, etc...

Of course you could also use my colorbox indicator and use an event structure that cycles through the three options for each mouse-down event, for example.

Thank you for the reply.

I realized it using a Table color.

What's a "table color"???

[labmaster]

Sorry for my bad expression.

I mean various colors of any cells can represent the three states in each cell.

The color can changed by mouse clicking or any other input.
