Forcing cluster objects to inherit precision settings from parent model

Solved!
Go to solution

Attached is a picture which explains this. Heres my problem:

 

I have a bunch of controls (the ones with the issue are numeric doubles). They are wired into a bundle by name to create a framework for my cluster. When I initialize an array of this type of cluster, the numerics do not receive the precision settings from the original controls that were bundled. Is there a way to specify this? I have tried strict typedeffing the original controls with no luck.

 

Thanks

I think I'm going to have to write code to loop through all the controls and set the format string to "%#_10g" during runtime. Does anyone have a better solution to this?

I'm not completely clear on what you're trying to do, but if I've understood correctly, one approach would be to make the original numeric a strict type definition, and also place that same strict type definition inside your cluster so that the two will be linked together.  Use that cluster as your front-panel indicator and you'll get the precision settings you expect.

I just did that and it does not work.
