Chart digital display format keeps changing

[Joseph_Loo]

I will try to set the scientific format as suggested by Pakman. My aim is to make this as general as possible. I use this for multiple charting displays.

I tried a modification of your modified version of my dprogram. In this particuliar case, I have the first 2 elements set to 1 and the rest to 0 (scientific & floating point). When it leaves the Digital_Left-Hor, it will revert all to scientific. I suspect, that the value is completely dependent on some kind of default value.

I have included the modification.

Hi Joseph,

You're approaching the problem correctly, but each time the chart visibility changes, the chart settings are reset.  Thus, the format modifications in Digital_Left-Hor.vi are lost when the chart goes invisible in Legend_Left-Hor.vi.  The solution to this problem is to make your formats in the VI that changes the visibility last (Legend_Left-Hor.vi in this case).  Refer to the attached library.

Pakman,

I came to the same conclusion as you did. I forgot about the other VI that cause the problem. I redid both of the VI. In this version, it will read the display format and set it after the location of the display is set.

Looks good, Joseph!
