Sometimes finding the most simplest things can be tricky. Occassionally you need to be picky about your user interface and when it comes to a digital stop watch, that is something that LabVIEW doesn't have right of the box.  I created 3 different VIs and Examples to go with them that I have found useful. Each VI creates a digital stopwatch with a different method (one uses Boolean Clusters as a LED type display, the second uses a string control , and the third uses an array of string controls).  I even have attached a special font that will make it look like your alarm clock at home.

 

Enjoy!!

Hello,

 

I was wondering if you could help me. I am your count down program (which I have slightly modified). This is an excellent program.  I wanted to add a Pause/stop to your program.  I can you the modified version of your program if needed. Can you help me?
