DSC Module Controls

Installed With: DSC Module. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the controls and indicators on the DSC Module palette to create front panels containing tanks, hoppers, bins, pipes, pumps, and valves. You also can use these controls and indicators to display historical and real-time data as well as alarm and event data.

You also can use the Image Navigator to browse through a collection of industrial automation images you can use to create front panels. The Image Navigator is a library of over 4,000 symbols for industrial automation including pumps, pipes, valves, tanks, mixers, motors, ducts, electrical symbols, flow meters, material handling, sensors, PLCs, transmitters, and ISA symbols. Select Tools»DSC Module»Image Navigator to launch the Image Navigator.
