Blink Colors in LabVIEW

Of course there always is the XContol to make the brute force method more elegant.

Unforunately, an XControl's facade does not run continiously.  I learned this a while back when I tried to create a variable blink rate tri-state LED some time ago.  Stephen Mercer of NI created an example of an XControl  to simulate a scrolling LED sigh that continiously updates, but it probably isn't any easier than the other brute-force methods mentioned already. His example is on the community forum, available here ->


Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

Yes, I forgot. An XControl is only a callback. I wasn't thinking. I haven't actually built an XControl yet, just have read through the AppNote.

This is an old thread, any updates to this problem?

 

I have a String indicator that I blink, it blinks red.  I want it to blink yellow.  Any ideas?
