Attitude Indicator - Made Embeddable in LabVIEW Application

[MilanR]

Overview
This is a modified version of the Artificial Horizon 3D Picture Control first posted in the NI Discussion forums and later modified to improve readability as a community example. This example is a modification of the previous example in order to make the attitude control more easily embedded in existing LabVIEW applications and to have multiple instances of the indicators that are controllable on the same front panel.

Description
The attitude control uses the standard LabVIEW model of Open, Read/Write, Close for initializing the 3D Picture Control associated with the Attitude indicator and updating the Roll, Pitch, and Yaw being represented in the indicator. A shift register is required to maintain the state of each control during each iteration of the update loop. The following is an example program that shows multiple controls being updated and run independently:

Note: It appears that the flickering effect discussed in the forum above is more pronounced when utilizing multiple controls at the same time.

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Unzip “Attitude Indicator 2012 NIVerified.zip”
2. Open " Attitude Control 2012 NIVerified.lvproj"
3. Open “Attitude Control Test.vi” under the Examples folder
4. Run the program

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

But  there is no value indication in vertical scroll bar.I could not customize that control also.
