CVI GUI Nemeric Meter, marker text overlap

[Shef]

Hello CVI gurus,

I have several numeric meters (lab style) in my CVI-based GUI. While they look ok in CVI, but appear to be messy when runing executable. I attach a small picture below.

Can anyone tell me how to change the size of major ticks or markers? Searching through the on-line help and developer zone, I could not find a way to do it.

Appreciate your help! Thanks!

Edit the meter (double click on it in the UIR) and click the "Range Values" button.
There you will see a check box for "auto divisions".  turn that off and then define the number of divisions you want.

Thanks for your reply. It looks like that this problem has been fixed in the later release. I should have mentioned that I'm using a LabWindows/CVI 7.1, an older version which does not have the option to turn off "auto division" and specifiy number of divisions.  It looks like that the issue has been addressed in post-7.1 releases.

But I did find out  that if we use Integer instead of double for the data type for the Numeric Meter, the problem will go away somehow. So I'm rushing to upgrade my software yet. But it's good know it's fixed. Thanks!
