string to number returns 0

[yenknip]

I am reading some data which has upto 4 decimal places, but the string to number function is only readign before the decimal point. It isn't the data representation on the indicator because the value comes out of the function wrong. am I missing something or is it labview?

I am using 8.5.1

Hi Ed,

use the "Fract/Exp String to number" function. This works.

You're using the wrong functions. That function is for integers. Use the Fract/Exp String to Number.
