How to create a control to work with a select function to display two separate texts.

I'm currently taking a Labview course at my college and for a starting project we need to create a problem to convert x amount in USD to either Yen or Euro using a toggle switch and a select boolean function. I need to know how to display a text label for the Yen value and for the Euro value being displayed in the same numeric indicator when selected. Basically I have the program working I just need to know how to create a control that will show Yen next to the value when it calculates for Yen and likewise for Euro

Use a string indicator.

 

That or if you have a numeric control, you can show the caption, and programmatically change the caption text with a property node.

Richx9252,

 

As Ravens Fan said you can either use a string indicator next to the numeric indicator to display the currency type or use a property node to edit the label of the numeric control to display the current currency type.  Please let us know if you have more questions about how this will work.
