GYRO_INDICATOR

[dhana]

Hi everybody...

we have to make one gyro Indictor using labview...

i have to kept the needle position should be static ... the numbers around the indicator should rotate... is there any posibilities are there to make the  indictor like that...]

if anybody knows please reply me....

am using LabVIEW2009.

You can use a dial and write to the scale.position start and range property, this will rotate the scale around.

This might not be the most elegant but should achieve the effect you desire.  You can hide the needle and overlay a decoration for the needle or you can also calculate the new needle positiuon and write this value to keep the needle from rotating with the new scale.

What do you want it to look like? Give us some idea and we can tell you if it will be possible in LabVIEW easily.

i have to show the angle from 0 to 360 degree..., i need to keep my angle indicator's needle should static(should not move)..., the numbers around the indicator should rotate to show the angle.......

Did you try the example I posted in the other thread?

The numbers rotate around a static needle. OK, the numbers go from 0 to 10 but to get to 360 all you have do do is type 360 instead of 10!

Wiggle the slider up and down to see it working.

Well I tried it and had fun playing with it.

even replaced the numbers with "NEWS" to the full compass look.

It entertained me.

Glad to be of service! Maybe I should post some of the actual code I'm working on... thats even more entertaining (for all the wrong reasons!   I'm considering changing my name to Rube this week)

Any clues as to how you did that?  I can't seem to figure out how to get strings instead of numerics.

Properties...

You have to sroll a couple of pages right to get at the tab that lets you define the Strings. The old version of the guage awa a lot easier. I'm sensing a little crtter in that config screen but I am not in a bug reporting mood.
