Meter Ticks

[cotang]

I did a search and couldn't find anything, I have a crio with an analog input module that has a pot attached to simulate 0-5V. That parts working, the problem i'm having is that when I add a meter and connect it in VI, it will work but  the needle will jump from 1 to 2 when the analog data is 1.6 or 2 to 3 when the value is 2.6. How do I get the needle to be more accurate?

Hi,

It seems like the "Representation" of your meter is "Integer", while it should be "Floating point".
You can check the "Representation" by right-clicking the meter and selecting the "Representation" sub-menu.

Thanks, I can't really check it since its greyed out. Also I'm using a trial version so maybe that could be it.

Hi cotang,

I just want to make sure that we are both looking at the same icon. When you go into the Represention palette, the DBL icon is greyed out?

No, that's not it.

Did you get that meter from the normal palette or did you copy it from somewhere else. If the representation is greyed out, it could mean that you have a type definition.

Unless there is a good reason to have it as a type definition, you can right-click it and disconnect from the type definition. After that,  you should be able to change the representation.
