a dial control with multiply digits

[amose]

hi
i need in my VI a control of a number that can be increased by either 100,10,1,0.1,0.01 or 0.005.
is there a more elegant way of doing this than adding the 6 digits to a number (see attachment) in this way increasing 9 in one will not add 1 to the next digit.
thanks
amose

Hi amose,
You forgot the attachment! And would it help to set the scale to logarithmic?

Another method is to use an enum with the values you want typed in. Then connect the enum to a case structure where the actual values are stored and delivered to the program. With this method you can have arbitrary values: 0, pi, 46000, 1e9, -2, sqrt(11), ...

And yet another method is to use a dial control with text labels.

see my question was not clear enough.
i want the possibility to increase or decrease the the value of the control in steps of one (either 100,10,1,0.1,0.01,0.05).
using the dial without typing the number. right now I have 6 control that are added to the final voltage. the problem is increasing 9 by 1 is not possible.
please have a look at the attachment (I hope it will be there this time)

Stop Button is not working... need an event for it 😉 My apologies as this is not the main course... but side dish

IFK!

You're right there is an event missing. I just put it in a while loop for demo purposes.
Never mind, I usually skip the side dish anyway... 😃
