Floating point numbers into XML file

[Saravanan C]

Hi,

I am a learner in Labview and I am using Labview 8.5 version.

when I use FlattentoXML component to convert floating point numbers ( having more than 5 decimal points) into XML, the output contains alway 5 decimal points.

But, I want exact decimal number to be displayed as XML. i.e 0.263746 should not be displayed as 0.26375 in XML.

Do you have any suggestions ?

you can use "Flatten To XML"

If your output is a number then use a "format into string"

Hi,

I would like to receive an XML output like this.

Could you tell how it can be acheived ?

<DBL>
<Name></Name>
<Val>0.79857935879</Val>
</DBL>

Simple define like this

I tested it and could not see your problem in Labview 2009. So it is perhaps a bug in your Labview version. You can use this VI as a workaround.

I checked in LabVIEW 8.6.1 and the XML reports 11 decimal places.

See this post regarding five places of precision:

Floating point precision of "Flatten to XML"

If you're using 8.5, this issue may have been fixed in 8.6...
