This article describes how to change the blinking color of an LED indicator in LabVIEW. By default, when an LED blinks, LabVIEW uses yellow to indicate the blinking state. However, yellow is often associated with warnings, and in some applications, a different color may be more appropriate.

  1. Open the front panel of your VI.
  2. Click on Tools → Options
  3. In Category field click on Environment and scroll down to Colors tab.
  4. Pick the desired color of blinking indicators in Blink Foreground box.

A blinking LED will now reflect the color configured in the Environment section.
