Hi,

The simplest way to do this, is to download the "7 segment font" from the following link.

Creating your own customized indicator is also an option, but far more time demanding.

Let me know is this is not what you are looking for.

I am sorry for the necropost, but does anyone know where to find the VI's from SGC-Tek these days?

Thanks!

I did, thanks. It looks like files are not archived, just page content. At least in this case.

Well, I had these VIs on my various hard drives for the last 20 years, so someone at least might enjoy it. It looks like the actual VIs are password protected.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement on your own. Whether it's a 7 segment display or pixel based, you could build a 3D array or a 1D array of clusters with boolean constants and just index what you want to display out of there. There have been various examples of this posted over the years.
