String is Rounding off

[shogunato3]

I used:

 http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-to-read-Serial-Data-from-Arduino-using-labview-VISA/td-p/1497866...

VI and did editing. Using LabVIEW for arduino. I already have the data I needed. I get a data of 33.75 the data output will be 34. What I need is to get the data with the decimal no rounding down or up.

Ive attached the VI.

Please Help! Thanks!

Hi

you removed the divide by 1023 and multiply by 5 from the original diagram.

That is why you seem to get rounding. But in fact you simply get what you programmed.

As normal you get what you programmed, not what you wanted to happen.

Use Frac/Exp String to Number instead of Decimal String to Number.  The Decimal String to Number gives you an integer, so it rounds.

Thank you!! Frac/Exp String to Number works like magic.
