Is there a way to change the representation of a numeric control during Run-time

[erhany]

I want to change the representation of any numeric control programmatically during run time. Is there a way for it? Thanks Erhan

I don't believe there is any way to programatically change the representation of a numeric, however, you can surely change the way it looks to the user with property nodes. You can set Format, Precision, Data Range, etc.

You could then use a case structure to convert the front panel DBL (for example) to the appropriate representation using the numeric conversion vi's.

Are you talking about changing the representation from I16 to DBL and back,
or simply changing the format and precision property node?

Yes, changing the representation from I16 to DBL and back.

[erhany]

Thanks a lot.

Hmmm. Like another poster said, you can change the way it looks, but actually changing the representation ...?

You could have two different controls and play games with which one is visible and which is used (switch in a case statement). Is there something you are trying to do here?
