What does that even mean?
Post a screenshot of your VI with the data typed in.  Or put the data in the control.  Right click and save the value as defaul.  Save the VI and attach that.

  • Expression Builder: convert string to number

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble building a field validation rule for bank account numbers.
    The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use a string or text number.
    The validation rule to be implemented is that the last two digits are calculated based on the first 10 (modulo 97).
    However, when I use the Mid function to pick the first characters, I am unable to do any calculations on it. Apparently, the string to number conversion doesn't work (it should work when I read the manual, as it says that when using an operator between two data types, the second type is converted to the first (cf. example of 1234+abcd (should result in 1234 as to the manual))). So I tried '1*Mid(...)' or '0+Mid(...)'. Syntactically the expression builder accepts it and I can save it. BUT when I change the particular value on the screen, it gives me an SSO error (not the Field Validation error message I entered).
    Why isn't there simply a function ToNumber (like ToChar)????? How could I workaround this?
    Any input very welcome!

    Apparently, I was a bit confused when typing the first sentence, it should be:
    The numbers have 12 positions, so I cannot use an integer or number data type, but have to use String.

  • Function to convert string to number

    Hi there,
    I wrote a function which converted a hor minute component of a date to a number. Now I need to do the same with a string (because the hours could be more then 23:95). Anyway here is my function. How can I rewrite it so it will accept a string as in parameter. Somwhow I can not work it out. Thanks a lot.
    Chris
    function calculate_hours_project(in_hours in DATE)
    RETURN number
    AS
    hrs CHAR(2);
    mins CHAR(2);
         BEGIN
              hrs := to_char(in_day, 'HH24');
              mins := to_char(in_day, 'MI');
              if hrs is not null and mins is not null then

              else
              RETURN 0;
              end if;

    Wouldn't it just be something like this?

  • Not able to convert string attribute to number and date please help me out

    not able to convert string attribute to number and date attribute. While using string to date conversion it shows result as failure.As I am reading from a text file. please help me out

    Hi,
    You need to provide an example value that's failing and the date formats in the reference data you're using. It's more than likely you don't have the correct format in your ref data.

  • Fract String to Number converts "700,5" to 700,49999999

    I found that for some numbers the Fract String to Number vi creates a small rounding error. As an example “700,5” converts to 700,49999999. (Se attached image and vi). Is there a way to fix this?
    To see this error you have to adjust the number of digits to display in the Display format property tab. Or you can try using the round to nearest vi which will round to 700 and not 701. (This was how I found the error

    rounding error.vi ‏6 KB

    Gerd,
    i just searched in the web a little bit in order to shed some light on the issue. Sadly, i found no real "solution", but something interesting:
    Due to Wikipedia (See in chapter "Character Representation"), the rounding for floating point numbers is correct with 17 decimal digits for binary64 values (which LV-doubles are).
    I previously found out, that the change from 770.5 to 700.4999 is done if the number of significant bits in the display option is set to something higher than 17 (so 18 or above).
    I find this is a fascinating coincidence......

  • Converting strings to the floating number and plotting

    Hello,
    I have a question regardting converting string of numbers to the floating bumbers and plot for voltage vs. weight.
    The load cell for the ADC resolution is 16 bits, and the voltage will be in between +-5 volts.
    The problem, I have the most is converting the string of numbers to the floating numbers, in my case is the weight.

    When you say "string of numbers" do you mean an array? What is the specific issue you are having? You seem to have orange wires running all over the place. Give a small example demonstrating the problem.

    Hello,
    I have a Keithley 182 Digital Nanometer (K182). I am usins it to measure voltage at high temperature. I want K182 to measure 3 times and then take the avarage of collected data.
    1. First problem is, as you can see from picture, string to number conversion. I tried many ways but I couldn't do it. Values as you see 0,00, and once was
    3,98E-3
    0,00
    392,0
    originan values were
    3,98E-3
    3,95E-3
    3,93E-3
    in table, values generally like this.
    2. I need to take avarege. So i need toindez data, then take avarage. So, I have also problem here...
    Could you please help on thic topic. Thanks in advance.

    No  Temp1     Temp2   Volt
    1    123,3       234,5      ...
    2    234,4       567,7    
    3    345,6       789,9
    4    456,7       678,8
    there are no exact number of data. the number of data can change from measurement to measurement (1000, 2000, 500 more or less). How can I program this increment in my system.
    My system is include LakeShore 336 temperature conroller and Keithley 182 Nanovoltmeter. I will set the temperature specified value from room temperature wtih specific ramp rate.

  • Convert String to Date and Format the Date Expression in SSRS

    Hi,
    I have a parameter used to select a month and year  string that looks like:    jun-2013
    I can convert it to a date, but what I want to do is,  when a user selects a particular month-year  (let's say "jun-2013")
    I  populate one text box with the date the user selected , and (the challenge Im having is)  I want to populate a text box next to the first text box with the month-year  2 months ahead.    So if the user selects 
    jun-2013   textbox A will show  jun-2013 
    and textbox B will show  aug-2013..
    I have tried:
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ),  
    "MM-YYYY"  )+ 2  )   -- But this gives an error
    This returns the month in number format   like "8"    for august...
    =Format(Format(CDate(Parameters!month.Value  ), 
    "MM"  )+ 2  )
    What is the proper syntax to give me the result    in this format =  "aug-2013"  ???
    Thanks in advance.

    You can convert a string that represents a date to a date object using the util.scand JavaScript method, and then format a date object to a string representation using the util.printd method. For more information, see:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1254.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1251.html
    In your case, the code would be something like:
    var sDate = "2013-01-10";
    // Convert string to date
    var oDate = util.scand("yyyy-mm-dd", sDate);
    // Convert date to new string
    var sDate2 = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", oDate);
    // Set a field value
    getField("date2").value = sDate2;
    The exact code you'd use depends on where you place the script and where you're getting the original date string, but this should get you started.

  • Converting a hex number to binary

    How do you convert a hexadecimal number to the actual 1's and 0's of binary? I am using labview 6i. Also I will eventually need the binary to be a string. Thanks.

    Converting for numeric display is quite simple. All you do is on the control/indicator, show the radix, and set it to the desired setting.
    Setting up to display the binary in text is a bit more tricky. You need to insert a "Format Value" function in and wire "%b" to the format string. This will cause the output to change to binary.
    Good luck

  • How to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

    how to use type cast change string to number(dbl)?can it work?

    Do you want to Type Cast (function in the Advanced >> Data Manipulation palette) or Convert (functions in the String >> String/Number Conversion palette)?
    2 simple examples:
    "1" cast as I8 = 49 or 31 hex.
    "1" converted to decimal = 1.
    "20" cast as I16 = 12848 or 3230 hex.
    "20" converted to decimal = 20.
    Note that type casting a string to an integer results in a byte by byte conversion to the ASCII values.
    32 hex is an ASCII "2" and 30 hex is an ASCII "0" so "20" cast as I16 becomes 3230 hex.
    When type casting a string to a double, the string must conform the the IEEE 32 bit floating point representation, which is typically not easy to enter from the keyboard.
    See tha attached LabView 6.1 example.

    Not a trivial exercise!
    Here is 1 possible solution I've limited it to non-trivial digits (ext floats are only 15 digits precise on some OS's.)  But you can see the steps necessary.  I assume the radix symbol is "." but the vi could be modified to use"System Decimal Seperator"

  • Fract/Exp String to Numbe Display Format

    I have a Numeric String which has a large decimal value, with the Digits of precision ranging upto 16 digits. I want to convert this String to a Numeric value and I have used a 'Fract/Exp String to Number'. In my VI I hae set:
    Data Type: EXT (because it allows Number of Decimal Digits from 15 to 20)
    Data Format: Floting Point
    Digits: 16
    Precision Type: Precision Digits
    The following is my question: If the input string has Precision Digits = 15 Eg: 5.369607712106161
    Then I am getting output = 5.3696077121061609, which is about the same, but not the same number I sent.
    or , String 1.145152879691825 gives me number = 1.1451528796918251
    String 5.818356760119754 gives me number = 5.8183567601197543
    Please suggest how I can make the output more precise.

    Thank you for the post. It worked!
    I do not understnd one thing: My  output number is EXT and the default value is also EXT with precision value set to 0. How does wiring the default value itself works, while not wiring it didnt work before!

  • Converting a binary number to a list of integers

    I need to convert a binary number to a list of the values of the bit possitions that make up that number. I.e. 1 = 1; 3=2,1; 7=1,2,4.
    Does anyone know of Java API functions that could accomplish this, I couldn't find any, or a function that can do this?

    This reminds me of my programming homework assignments...
    There are some very efficient ways to do this - but I can't remember them off the top of my head. I can guarantee they will have been posted several hundred times before. This will work:
    class BitMask {
        private byte mask = 1;
        public void printBitFields(int a) {
         System.out.print(a + " =");
         for(i = 0 ; (a & Integer.MAX_VALUE) != 0 ; i++) {
             if((a & mask) == 1)
              System.out.print(" " + ((int) java.lang.Math.pow(2,i)));
             a >>= 1;
         System.out.println();
        public final static void main(String args[]) {
