Overview
This example shows how to build a digital stop watch in LabVIEW.
Description
Sometimes finding the simplest things can be tricky. Occasionally 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 3 helpful examples to go with them. 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?
Hi Huz,
I have added a second version of the digital clocks with a "Pause" input.
