SI prefix - property node to obtain SI prefix? (LabVIEW 8.2)

Hi:

I have a graph in which I am using SI notation to format the X scale.  I need to get the prefix associated with the SI notation using a property node or other method.  I cannot see how to do this at present - please let me know if you know how to do this.  I can get the information I need using a brute force method calculation method based on the actual values present - but would be easier without the calculations.

Sincerely,

Don

Extract one of your x-axis values, format it into a string using SI formatting with no decimal places (%.0p) and strip off everything from the beginning of the string that isn't a number using the match string function...

Yes, that works (attached is VI).  I guess no property node for this right now.  Thanks for pointing this method out.

Sincerely,

Don
