Convert value

[FredTest]

Is there a way to convert a double  example 900000000000000000000000000000000000009, which is 9.0 E+37 to scientific notation?

I am trying to compare values received from a DAQ to limits that I have.

Thanks!

Hello FredTest,

Yes it is possible. Just try the following code that uses "Formatting functions" and 'Modifiers" (more details in these two help sections)

double NumericValue=456.675;
char ConvertedValue[30];

// Eventually get value from a control or anything else

Fmt(ConvertedValue, "%s<%f[e2]", NumericValue);

// Display Converted value in text box, text string ...

Hope this helps you going on on your project

Best regards,
