Overview
This VI demonstrates how to create custom controls as an example a fan that updates from a Boolean and a conveyor belt that updates from a slider.
Description
LabVIEW offers many options to customize the user interface, the simpler way is to use the custom 3D controls and Picture Control.
Custom controls allows to change the appearance of a control, but their behavior will be the same as the original one.
Note: The images used for these controls are taken from the images of Image Navigator included in the DSC module, but you can use any image.
You can refer to the PDF for a step by step implementation.
