use of knobs in LabVIEW?

[yajzse]

I know this may sound stupid for those of you who are experts with labView but I really have to ask,

can a knob in labVIEW act as with the same function as a potentiometer? I mean, can I use it to provide an output voltage proportional to an angle and use it for simulating a movement of a robotic finger in Solidworks?


You see, I am really new to these softwares and any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.
