multiple cases

[Yogesh9ic]

Hi There,

In my program i am getting output in gram unit. I want that if value to be in readable way between 1-1000. So if value is more or less then that, i want to transfer it into either, microgram, milligram, gram and kilogram to display value and also able to display string for unit accordingly. 

Is there a way to use case structure to solve this problem

BTW i am using labview 8.2.

Thanks

How about this (attached).

You can set a case structure to accept a number as the selector.

Then you can set a range for each case.

For example '0..1000' would be 0 to 1000.

You can then multiply/divide by whatever you need to in order to get the correct units.

Then append the correct unit as a string.

I'm not sure if it's available in 8.2, but try to set your display indicator to SI NOTATION (under DISPLAY format).

It will automatically append "m", "u", or "k" (or others) as necessary.

Hi Yogesh,

when switching on "unit display" for indicators LabView will do the part of (SI-)unit scaling for you...

I think I'm going to stop writing code from scratch.

Every time I do, LabVIEW already has a function/option for it that I dont know about or didnt see before.

Yeah lol, I wrote a ton of programming for DAQ, then found the express DAQ assistant

in all honesty I never use the DAQ Assistant I tend to right my own software for that

Do you write your own spell checkers, too?
