Hiya
I would like to create a user interface by customizing front panel so it could be used as an oscilloscope. This oscilloscope allows user to do following selections.
Analogue or digital signal
which channel
raw binary data or scaled measurement
enter mathematical formula
and then it displays the signal. There are some knobs which could be used to zoom in or alter display to ficilate analysis. This is just imagination, Is it possible to achieve this on Labview. What are the steps please??
Your help is much appreciated.

You can download and install the NI-SCOPE driver, which includes the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel, an oscilloscope application written entirely in LabVIEW. This will give you an idea of what is possible (essentially anything even vaguely reasonable, plus a lot more, limited only by your imagination and skill). Unfortunately, the driver is very large. If you want a picture, check this out.
The underlying architecture of this application is virtually identical to the architecture given in this post. However, you would probably be better off following Ben's suggestion to hone your LabVIEW skills, then dive into the xylophone example.
