I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from making a dashboard framework. As long as your are learning and enjoying yourself ...

But until you've measured the speed of the IMAQ display, perhaps throwing around terms like HW accelerated or super-fast is a bit premature. The IMAQ stuff is used in industry and is quite optimized. There are always new and better ways to skin a cat, but that is also why NI pays people to take advantage of such things.

If you have some comparisons worth sharing, I'm always game. I know just who to show it to in order to get IMAQ improved.
