I copied your string into the scan from string function in both your VI and my VI. Both gave the same results without error.

I had this error right now with your VI
Error 85 occurred at Scan From String (arg 2) in Untitled 4.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Scan failed. The input string does not contain data in the expected format.
I may sound silly but is it possible to be due some sort of difference between data formats, maybe European/American formats... :S

And that is something I brought up in message 6.
It is your data and your scan from string format string. Mine isn't any different than yours. So how it can "work" in your VI and not work in mine makes absolutely no sense.
Try putting %.;%.3e as your code. See http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/decimal-point-format-period-comma/m-p/1325425#M541046.

yep, it works now. I have done that to my VI, that's the reason why yours was giving an error.
