Different decimal point character for numeric limit test vs multiple numeric test with database logging

Hi all,
I have a problem with decimal point character and database logging.
I've deselected "Use Localized Decimal Point" in Station Options->Localization. Teststand should now use "." as decimal point character (ignore the "'s).
When logging to database this is only true for Multiple numeric limit test results, not for Numeric limit test results.
Numeric limit test results use "," as decimal point character where it should be "."
I can't trust the localization settings on the PC as different endusers might have different settings.
Example:
(STEP_NAME and PROP_RESULT.DATA)
Numeric limit test 1,50127667932332
Multiple numeric limit test result_1 1
Multiple numeric limit test result_2 1
Multiple numeric limit test result_3 10.0304317
I've changed the Limits->Numeric format for each test but this change is only applied to the report, not the database result.
Read the manuals but didn't find anything...
Have I missed something obvious, or is this some kind of bug?
Teststand version is 2010.
Windows versions are XP SP3 and Win7. Same behavior on both OS.

When something is logged to the database as a number, the database is probably storing it in a way that is independent of any sort of decimal point localization. When you view the items in the database however it is probably going to show you the number based on the current locale settings. This is likely purely cosmetic, for display purposes.

  • Decimal Point data for Stacked Column Chart

    Hi,
    I use a basic version of a Column chart for one of my projects. I use a stacked column chart with 2 data series namely "Expenses" & "Profit".
    I use decimal point numbers (with only two or three places after the decimal point) for both series.
    When I mouse over the bars of the output for tool tip, I view more numbers after the decimal point for some data.
    How to fix the decimal point to only 2 places & what is the reason for this behaviour?
    Attached is the sample output (output.gif) showing the above condition for the mentioned data.

    Create an toolTipShow event handler and use a NumberFormatter to set the precision of the numbers (sample code from LiveDocs):

  • How to restrict decimal point entry in numeric field?

    Hi All,
    There is a requirement from our client that, they cannot accept amount in decimals. That is, they cannot accept the cents, the amount that can be received from them is only in EURO and the same will be entered in the field. They want me to restrict the entry of a decimal point totally in the field, so that there requirement is fulfilled.
    Is this possible? If yes let me know how?
    If no, can you provide me justification, so that i can intimate the same to my client.

    Dear Steve,
    I had written in my first thread that, They want me to restrict the entry of a decimal point totally in the field.
    If i use 9999 as format mask, then it still allows me to enter a decimal, but when the focus moves out of the field, it highlights the field and warns me "Field must be of form 9999".
    But my requirment is to "Restrict the entry of decimal point totally @ runtime".

  • Decimal points appearing for number in flat file upload

    Hello
    I am trying to upload a .csv file to a datasource. It is a number but when I see it in preview I am getting a decimal number with 3 points.
    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you
    Ravi

    Hello Durgesh
    Thank you for the reply.
    I am new to BI. I am just trying to upload a flatfile to Datasouce.
    I have created InfoObject with NUMC 4. The thing I am not able to get is, when we are uploading a file from source system to datasouce, I am at an understanding that there is no link between the field type we are using for the infoObject and the .csv file data in the data source. Please correct me if I am wrong.
    So even before creating the transformation, by just loading and looking at the preview of data in datasouce itself, I am seeing decimals for number. I even tried to make the data file in notepad and save as .csv inorder to avoid any cimplications with excel.
    Please advice.
    Thanks

  • Measurement for multiple numeric limit test

    Hello,
            I am developing a test software using LabWindows and TestStand. In my application, I have added a no: of multinumeric tests. In Operator Interface, I want to display each measurement in run time, instead of waiting for completion of all the measurements with Multiple numeric limit test. Is there any way to receive in TSOP each runtime measurent taken for multiple numeric limit test without waiting for multinumeric limit test over?
    Thanks in advance......
    Best Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Unfortunately, a Multiple Numeric Limit Test will not allow you to return each measurement inside the step as it executes.  If you need this to occur, there are other methods that you could take.  You could create a custom step type or use many Numeric Limit Test steps and pass them the indexes in your array.
    Another method you might use would be to use an Action step and save the array locally.  Then, you could use Statement steps to evaluate each item in the array.

  • How to fix decimal point limit

    Hi
    how do i fix the decimal point digit.
    for e.g
    if the input number is 123.33
    then it should conver it to 123.330
    OR
    if input 123
    then it should convert it to 123.000
    OR
    if input 123.321456
    then it should convert it to 123.321
    Thanks in advance.

    No that is not the solution.
    But I found out a different solution. The following code will give me exact figure which I was looking for.
    BigDecimal inputSize = new BigDecimal(12.3215)
    inputSize.setScale(3, RoundingMode.FLOOR);
    Thanks to all of you for your support

  • How do I Change decimal comma for decimal point

    Hello,

    I already set my region but anyway I can't change the decimal comma for the decimal point.
    thanks

    Thanks for the link, that help me a lot, because now when I'm in excel or a calculator I hit the point key on the numeric part of my keyboard and I get a point, but when I'm in word, safari or entourage and I hit the point key on the numeric part of my keyboard I get a comma instead a point.
    I have a windows Spanish ISO extended keyboard.

  • 2 Decimal Points for Indonesian Rupiah Currency

    Dear All,
    I would like to assign 2 decimal points to Indonesian Rupiah Curreny - IDR by accessing OY04.
    However, there is no input value for 2 decimal points.
    For accounting purpose, we would like to record business transactions up to 2 decimal points.
    Kindly advise.
    Appreciate it!

    Hi wishy washy,
    even I had various real painfull experiences with clients who changed the decimals..... Still having nightmares about this....
    Please be hypercarefull with that what you are doing. Has IDR really 2 decimals? As far as I can see IDR has in Standard (In my SAP-testsystem) no decimals.
    What happens if you change the decimals? Please note, SAP stores values always without decimals.
    Example: 100,00 Euros are stored as 10000 in bseg-wrbtr.
    Euro has 2 decimals.
    If you change the decimals to 0 the amount changes to 10000 Euros.
    Example: 100 IDR are stored as 100 in bseg wrbtr.
    IDR has no decimals
    If you change the decimals to 2 the amount changes to 1,00 IDR.
    Please consider: automatic taxcalculation, Data carriers, reporting, open item clearing, budgeting, depreciation, and hundreds of other issues.
    The several warnings of OY04 have a reason... and I don't want you to have my nightmares.
    Best regards

  • Problems with the system decimal point with german regional settings

    I have a Labview 6 app that needs deploying to Germany.
    My app sends strings over VISA RS232 and GPIB instruments with floating point numbers.
    When changing from English to German regional settings, in Windows XP, periods are now interpreted as commas and the app starts truncating my decimal numbers. So in the English Regional Setting when I send 1.234 I get 1.234 but in the German Regional Settings when I send 1.234 I get 1.000.
    I have turned off the "Use localized decimal point" in Tools - Options - Front Panel as well as set any function (Frac/Exp String to Number) that has a "Use System Decimal Point" connector to FALSE.
    Now here's my problem....
    This fixed the issue I was having as long as I am in the development environment, however, once I build the application I still get the truncated numbers. Example: I send 1.234 to an instrument and it sees 1.000.
    Again this works fine in the development enviroment, sending 1.234 reads 1.234 with German regional settings.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Adam

    You can use a simple function of the "Scan from string" function.
    Place "%.;" (Without the quotes) in the scanning string, and this will tell LV to use a decimal point for interpretation. If you place "%,;", this will tell it to use a comma.
    You can place this at the beginning of your format string, and it simply tells the parser how to work, it doesn't otherwise produce an output.
    Using simply "%;" sets the seperator to the system default (maybe the best idea after the code has been run as the changed decimal point character apparently remains changed otherwise). From the LV help
    The following codes control the decimal separator used for numeric output. These codes do not cause any input or output to occur. They change the decimal separator for all further inputs/outputs until the next %; is found.
    %,; comma decimal separator
    %.; period decimal separator
    %; system default separator
    Hope this helps
    Shane.

  • Send numeric limit data from TestStand sequence to Accesss database

    I use the "None" adapter to perform numeric limit testing on results from expression steps, but when I enable saving the report to an Access database the Name of the parameter is not shown. I noticed that when I use the multiple numeric limit step the option to name the parameter is built in, but the numeric limit test doesn't give that option. Is there a way around this? I have left the database options in their default settings.

    By default the numeric limit test doesn't log the name of the step into the MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT table. This make sense since the name of the step is already logged into the STEP_RESULTS table. For the multiple numeric limit test, make sense to have a name to differentiate the different tests within the same step. That's why the default setting is set to log the test name in the MEAS_NUMERICLIMIT table.
    Do you need the step name to be also in the MEAS_NUMERIC table or is it enough to have it on the STEP_RESULT one?

  • Multiple numeric test with cluster from labview?

    Is it possible to make a multiple numeric limit test with the values from a cluster from a labview vi?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This can be done with a little work.
    The first step is to get the cluster's data back in to TestStand's memory space as you would do normally.
    Then you either use post expressions (since you're at a point in time between the test code module completing and the status evaluation) to move the pertinent parts in to the data source for the step (usually step.numericarray) or...
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsref/infotopics/test_step_types_mnl_test/
    And
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsref/infotopics/pane_mnl_datasource/
    Use the 'specify data source for each measurement''.
    I'm not in front of a computer with TestStand right now to knock up an example but it should be pretty straight forward.
    Either method should allow you to work with a mixed cluster of data types and just evaluate on the numeric ones.

  • Query to remove decimal point

    Hi all,
    I have a table A, in which there is a column currency with integer values having decimal point, i have to just remove the decimal and keep the number as it is.
    Ex:- A number 23.45 should be 2345
    A number 17.9 should be 179
    I have to do this for all the currency values of the table A.
    Can someone kindly help me with a query.

    Thank you all for replying,
    The problem is that there are different rows in table A, i.e many values, so i think we would have to pass this value as variable in runtime.Sorry, I don't understand.
    What value do you think you have to pass as a variable? The decimal point character ('.' in America, ',' in Germany)? The number of decimal places? Some value, such as 175?
    select to_number(replace (1.23, '.')) from dual;
    or
    SELECT REPLACE (crncy, '.') AS crncy_w_o_dot
    FROM table_x;
    how can i use the above query like a loopAny query is like a loop; it finds each row, and does the same sort of thing to each one.
    i.e if i have many values like below in the column currency, how can i change them all.Are you saying you have different columns that need to be transformed?
    If so, the answer depends on what your data is like, what results you want, and what version of Oracle you're using..
    If what you want to do is simple, and the number of columns isn't to big, the best thing is to repeat the formula for every column.
    Other options are likely to be slower.
    You could write a user-defined fucniton to do the transformation.
    You could unpivot the table, so that all the columns to be transformed become one column. You could then pivot the results back to the original number of columns, if necessary.
    17.5
    23.456
    89.9343
    43.98121thanks again for your help,Is this your sample data? It looks like just one column. Post some sample data as CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements.
    What are the results you want from that data? If you need to pass some parameter to the query, give a couple of examples of different parameters and the different results they produce given the same sample data.
    Whenever you have a question, say what version of Oracle you're using.

    I trid to use after logon trigger to issue statement alter session set nls_numeric_characters (enclosed in execute immediate statement) but it don't helped me.
    Thanks for advice

    ok.
    I have following values in file to import:
    45.5
    50.3
    60.2
    38.7
    ("." is decimal point)
    If I use sqlldr on linux it is imported correctly. If I try to to import data from windows machine I get error message ORA-01722: Invalid number. So somewhere on my windows machine is set another decimal separator and i would like to change it to ".". But i don't know where I can change it.
    Is it more understandable?
