Where to find Very Nice Test Front Panel?

[lmontoya]

I don't have too many experience in LabView (just a couple of years) but I already did many complex test programs. All my proyect has a very simple front panel using just the labView graphics.

Now I want to change my front panels. Where I can  find another type of front panels? maybe you can send me your examples or we can do a data base of the beter front panels.

Thank you every body

Have a look at the UI Interest Group in the Community section of ni.com

You can search the web for GUI design. I don't have the bookmarks at hand at the moment. Maybe I did find the links on LAVA... One of them was called 'Interface Hall of Shame' for a collection of historical misconcepts. The book by Blume has also a chapter on FP design.

Anyhow, very independent of LV this is a big issue discussed in different flavours (psychological, engineering, software/computer sience, testing).

The other kind of experience is just look at other SW you are using (media player, office, your OS -> and Linux flavours!, web pages, traditional stand alone instruments ...).

This is an open subject, so you won't find a solution but you will benefit from reading a certain amount of stuff about it.

You could also take a look at the book LabVIEW GUI: Essential Techniques.

Here's one simple rule to get you started:

Use the System Palette controls exclusively. Can you do that? Great, you're off to a good start.
