That is a picture of your block diagram.  Not a very good one, but I can see loads of Rube Goldber code.

How do you think that would help us help you with the front panel?

It is actually a snippet, and dragging it to a new VI will generate the front panel. 😄

It is not clear what the question is. Why don't you ask your users what they want? Who are your users?

Look at other user interfaces for idea (your favorite program, the dshboard of your car, the automated teller, a veding machine, etc.)

Yes, I agree it does not look user friendly, just a collection of controls and indicators with little order.  Still, you probably should also spend some time simplifying the diagram. A lof of the code does not make much sense.

You're right.  The block diagram was so big, and scaled down so much, I never saw the indicators at the top or the dotted line that showed it as a snipped.

Because users aren't [inherently] qualified to design UI's
