LDF Starter Kit problem

[mike_lan]

 (I had this in the Labview forum incorrectly so I have reposted here .) 

Hi All,

I am using the LDF starter kit to parse an LDF file using LV 7.1

I have encountered a problem with the vi "LDF Check Number.vi" as attached.

A string value of 9 causes the Case statement to return the default value even though the statement should accept 0-9 inclusive?

I know that the input is a string and so will only accept the string values "0" to "8", but should not the vi also include the "9" by changing the case statement to "0"-"9","9" ?.

 This causes a problem for a 9th value for any signal in an LDF file as it uses the default instead of the value requested.  

Thanks,

Mike

Hi

Yes, you are right in order to include the string 9 you would need to modify the selector as follows: "0".."9","9". Thats what the LabVIEW Help tells me. 😉

Good catch, I go ahead and modify the starter kit VI. Here is the correct version.
