In Keithley 2410, string to number conversion for readed voltage

Solved!
Go to solution

 Hi,

 

i want to drive current and read voltage with Keithley 2410.

 

However i can read the correct voltage value in the screen of the device, i can not read the correct voltage value in the lab view program. The problem occurs while the readed voltage (string) is converted to number. I use Fract/Exp String to number for that. However i can only read the first number of the real value. for example in the screen of the device i read 1.3784e-5 (real voltage value), in the software indicator i read only 1.

 

I am new in lab view. can anyone help me about this problem please.

My Magic 8-Ball says that your system settings have the comma being the decimal separator.  The Keithley instrument will always have the decimal point be the decimal separator.  Luckily there is a Boolean input on the Fract/Exp String To Number that sets whether or not to use the system separator.  Make sure you set that to FALSE.
