Write/draw code that breaks time .into 6 numbers. If the hour is less than 10 add a leading "0" to the time. Convert numbers to resistor color codes using a color table. Paste MS - Paint drawing into program window and write some code to show/hide that part of the window.
Test Code

In learning mode the time is revealed to confirm color code conversion is working. Check to see that code works as it should. Adjust the size of the show/hide window...
Compile Code
LabVIEW allows developers to build an executable. This executable can be run on any PC with Win 10 after installing LV 2018 Runtime engine.
