Custom Dashboard Program Ideas?

On a side note: were did you find a gauge that can send the air pressure as an analog signal to the control system?

Edit: More about what we did.

Last year my team didn't use the classmate for the dashboard, we sent it to another computer so we could have a larger screen and it seemed to run the feed better.

Our Robot has an analog pressure sensor on it hooked into one of the analog imputs on cRios. We played around with the data communication and have a guage on our large video screen with the air pressure. I think that the while loop on the dashboard has a slow iteration rate however, because it is quite slow responding, about 1-1.5 seconds per responce, hardly real-time.. But we might consider putting dashboard onto another computer. Did the program run faster on a different laptop than it did on classmate?
