custom units ºC

[craige]

I'm using LV8.2.1 and i'm trying to get my indicators to display units of "ºC".....but the VI responds with "?ºC". How can I display an indicator with this unit type?

Thanks,
Craig

Hi Craig,

it's quite annoying as you have to use "degC" instead! Other temp units are "K" and "degF"...

With temperatures I always use text constants or indicators to show "°C" on the user interface.

If I understand the question correctly and it's only about formatting the indicator, right click the indicator, choose "format and precision," choose the "advance editing mode" radio button, and you can add text to the indicator by typing it in the top field.  so for instance, instead of '%2f' you would have '%2f ºC'

Both suggestions are very helpful. Thank you.
