Please help! Ultrasonic dashboard display.

The picture explains it pretty well, I need to see the value of analog input 2 on the dashboard to the thousands or 10 thousands place. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks! :D

Have you played with the display format yet?

For instance, in your Dashboard project right-click on the analog field and choose Properties.
Go to the Display Format tab.
Change Precision Type to "Digits of Precision"
Play with the # of digits

Remember to expand the display field itself, so it has room to put your digits.

Thanks for the help, I'll try that.

I'm not sure you'll be able to select and edit that piece of the default dashboard until you ungroup everything in that section. There's a drop-down menu at the right end of the tool bar that holds the group and ungroup commands (plus others).

Do you need to see this in competition? If so, then you should make a custom Dashboard project. You can put your own custom indicator on the front panel and make it as large as you like, with as many digits as you like. You can even make it change color or start blinking if the value crosses some threshold.

I found this tutorial really useful in making my own dashboard:
