Display format

Status: Declined
Already implemented in LabVIEW

Numeric indicator by default has the display format of Significant digits set to 6 digits. It will be great to have a property or way to programatically set the display format - Precision type to digits of  precision. Currently property node works in edit mode only. This feature will help display more digits.

There are property nodes for Display Format, Precision, and also Format String.  These are all settable while the VI is running.

 

Which property node are you talking about that you say works in edit mode only?

It can be a bit tricky, you can not write to the Precision property unless you first change the format from its default value of 9 which is automatic.

To clarify my interpretation of the original request, here's what the current dialog looks like:

The available property nodes are "format" which corresponds to the type listbox in the UI and precision which corresponds to the digits numeric control in the UI. There's no property node that corresponds to the "precision type" drop down.
