Unable to define a control unit label to the engineering unit of a tag

[Helene]

Hi all,

I use the "read tag" to get the value of a tag, and I connect this value to a control.
I would like to see the tag engineering unit affected to the unit label of the control. Is there any way to do that?
It seems that the "read tag" returns a value with no units, and I can't link it to a control with a different physical data type (such as K or degC...).
The reason I want to use the unit label of a control, is to have the possibility to change this unit to compatible units ( on the front panel), and have the value automatically converted.

Thanks for your help.

Hélène.

Hello,

I would recommend you to get the raw value to you DSC Application, and once the value gets there.
You can modify the Tag Attributes (like the Scale, etc) but I think it is a lot easier to use the math functions in LabVIEW to modify the values coming from your tags.
