Format string / exponent in multiples format of 3 (enginering format)

[Bojer]

How can I convert my number in teststand so 1E+4 is shown as 10E+3.

It seems that the '^' is not a valid flag to use in Teststand, so I can do it as I would do it in Labview.


Any suggestions ???

Kind regards

Hi,

  I assume you're using a statement to present the formated string as opposed to the numerical format of a variable directly.

You're going to have to manage this conversion as a string yourself by finding out the number of digits in the number (using the str and len)

then work out specifically how to display that as a 10, or 13 or 72 E+6 using the length to indicate whether it's E3, E6, E9 etc, and dividing the number appropriately to get the string version of the front part of the number. That's going to yield a huge statement.

Alternatively, drop the value into labview as an additional step to recreate the layout you require.

Thanks
