three position digital switch

[CFAMS Brad]

Hi everyone,

I would like to build a three way digital switch, a rocker that is true when up false when down, but comes back to a neutral position.  Imagine a trim switch on a motor boat.  Logically, I can do this with two push buttons that switch until latched, but on the front panel this would result in two buttons.  I would prefer one button.  I notice however that the factuory LabVIEW rockers have only two positions.  Is there a way to modify these rockers into a sleek, three position switch on the front panel?  I can easily enough wire the block diagram...

Thanks,
Brad

Here is another thread where they are discussing a three way switch.

Maybe it will be helpful.

Do you have LV8? Sounds like something suitable for implementation as an XControl.

Thanks for pointing out that other thread - nothing hit when I searched for three-way switch this morning.
