numbering system , to .

[yehchia]

Hello everyone,

i have a problem with the setting of the numbering format. In germany, the value 1.5 is written as 1,5. So my labview program recognise 1,5 instead of 1.5 I want to set in to the normal american numbering system instead of the german system.

Where can i change the setting  for it ?

Thank You

Depends on what you mean by "recognize". Is this reading from a file? Is this for a front panel control? Is this for writing out to a file? Is this for a built application?

See, for example

as well as all the other links from this search.

When you use the Scan from string function, start the format string with '%.;' this will set the decimal sign to a point.

There's also a an option "Use localized decimal point" under Tools -> Options -> Front Panel . It's a global setting that affects the whole development environment and you'll have to restart LV after changing it.

All good answers above.

As smercurio mentionned, what is meant by "recognize"?  In other words, how is this localization used?  The answer to that will select the appropriate solution.
