I would like to use data probes and custom probes on front panel controls and indicators. I would especially like to pop-up on an indicator of a running VI and bring up a floating chart or graph.
Perhpas he has an array indicator on the front panel and he wants to be able to view the data graphically by creating a "probe" for the array indicator? If so, just create the probe on the diagram and then simply minimize the block diagram. You'll have the same effect.
