We switched to SFX this year. Right off the bat it fixes some problems
- There's a nice tree of variables
- You can choose what to display and whether to auto-add
- It has great layout and grouping tools
It comes with problems of its own
- graph widget is bad, no support for USB camera. To solve these we used a graph widget plug-in (from 1768 -https://github.com/Nashoba-Robotics/SmartChart) and made our own USB camera widget using code from the old dashboard
- It's very resource intensive
- It has some minor glitches such as not being able to edit widgets inside certain containers, and it often fails to save your layout with no visual feedback
We haven't used the labview dashboard since we used labview
