Chart digital display format keeps changing

I am running Labview 8.5.1 on windows XP. My digital display for my chart keeps changing to %.2f format when I run the VI.
I tried setting the display format to scientific but as soon as I run the VI, it changes back to floating point. I have included the VI. By the way, this did not work for 8.2.1
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I was unable to reproduce your problem. I changed the format to scientific on all the front panel digital controls and they will not change back for me. I wonder if you need to use the Edit-> Make Current Values Default option in the LabVIEW menu.
I attached a copy of your vi. Modified with the new format. Let me know if it loads correct.
Sorry I was not able to the find or load the init portion of your vi.

Chart digital display bug

Hi,
I am using chart with stacked plots and digital display for each of those stacked plots. There seems to be some update bug since if I move the display on the chart weird things start happening. The chart stops to update some plots and also artifacts appear. When I hide the digital display all seems to work as expected. What is the problem? Is it a bug? Is there some work around or do I have to code my own digital display?
I made a short video to show the problem.

After I wrote my own implementation of the digital displays I realized that this problem appears also if I use separate controls and place them on the graph. Really annoying. The workaround I found, whether using the native charts digital display or your own version, is to force the graph to refresh. This surprisingly cannot be achieved by the method chart.refresh which doesn't help but by toggling for example Legend.ScrolBarVisible. If you toggle this property after writing data into the graph this annoying bug disappears. Other usable properies for this are: chart.visible, chart.updatemode, chart.plot.visible, chart.plot.color

Digital Display format bug?

I have an enum (happens to be a typedef) with the Display Format set to %.1d_0x%x so I can see decimal and hex representation. When I turn on the digital display on the control it works fine. If I turn the control into a constant the display format only shows the decimal part.

How do I change the number of significant digits in a slide's digital display?

I suspect I'm missing something really obvious. I want the slide's digital display to show 1.23 instead of 1.23456. Here's what I tried:
1. Drop a Horizontal Pointer Slide
2. Make its Digital Display visible
3. Type 1.23456 into that display
4. Pop up on the Digital Display and select "Display Format..."
5. Change the number of significant digits to 3 and hit "OK"
The digital display still shows 1.23456. What am I missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LOL - I had the same problem. Hidden in plain sight! All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling. Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better. Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

How to change slider control digital display precision from program

from the front panel:rt clk properties>goto display format tab>goto drop down list and pick "digital display 0" and format

TS1315 when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an unrecognizable format. It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.

I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you

How to change the bar chart rendering image format in SSRS

Hello all,
I am working with SQL Server 2008 R2 and I have a SSRS bar chart report, when the report got rendered over online or if the take Export (PDF and PPT), the image is in png format always, which is taking too much of time to execute the report in case of large
data.
Can, It be possible that the rendered image is in jpeg format instead of png.
If Yes, please share the appropriate steps to follow:
Thanks in advance
Pankaj Kumar Yadav-

Hi Pankaj067,
According to your description, you want to change the bar chart rendering image format as JPEG format when previewing the report or exporting to a PDF file .
In Reporting Services, the chart rendering image format is PNG by default. It’s a by-design behavior. And it doesn’t open any API for us to change the image type when exporting a chart to a format. So in your scenario, your requirement can’t be achieved
in Reporting Services currently. I would recommend you submit a feature request to Microsoft at this site:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer. So that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

My display keeps changing to 800x600 after upgrade to 10.8.3

After upgrading to 10.8.3 my display keeps changing to 800x600 after it wakes up from sleep. I have to go to preferences and set again, and it works. It is quite annoying. Any clue.

Not much to go on.
What monitor and connection method are you using with the mac Mini..?
Have you tried resetting the > NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Display keeps changing on it's own

For a couple of weeks now my Mac Mini keeps changing the display at random. I have changed the settings on the monitor itself and thru system pref. Nothing fixes it permanently. It looks as though it's going into some sort of zoom effect and the fonts look weird (almost like what windows looks like if you start in "safe mode"). I can do absolutely nothing, just walk away from the computer, and a few hours later go back and it will have fixed itself. Or vice versa. For example, this morning I'm on the computer, everything is fine. I walked away, it went into sleep, I come back hit the space bar on the keyboard to wake it up and I'm in zoom. ????? what is going on? Do I have some sort of virus?

Mine appears to be doing the same thing. I use reset to bring it back to normal. It does not matter if all programs are closed or not. It still does it. When I say reset I mean clicking on the Apple icon and going to reset not the command option r, p. Of course they may be the same thing for all I know as I do not know the short cuts very well.
I also have a RAM problem - the amount of RAM available keeps disappearing. I do not know if this is related or not - but plan to post this question in another community. I only mention it in case it might be relevant.

Split Screen on 30" Display, changes in System pref keep changing

Hi,
This is my first time on this forum, so Hi to everyone out there.........!
Anyway,
I have a G4 with a 30" display, everytime I boot up the 30" display splits into 2 halfs, like a mirror of each other and the resolution is 1200 x 800. The only way to fix it is to reboot the PC and then I get the one size screen at full resolution.
I've gone into System Preferences and Displays and locked the configuration change heaps of times but it doesn't seem to stay locked as for some reason the config keeps changing.....
Please note, my laptop stays blank but I can drag screens from my display and make them display into my laptop which allows me to open heaps of sessions up between the two....
Does anyone have the same issues, or this this a first......?
All comments welcomed.
Thanks
Paul

Sorry, I have placed this in the incorrect forum....... I will close it from here and re-post it in the correct forum.
