Re: HMI Image

Nothing too tricky. I copied and modified some images. I downloaded a free program called paint.net. You can get it at getpaint.net. It has some great tools that are similar to adobe.

Panel Tags

Does anyone have a line on someone who makes custom panel tags (labels) for control panels? I need to have five tags made up.
