Displaying extended numbers in LV 6i

Hi, I am using LV 6i on Mac and trying some numerical modelling of a physical process. I tried using extended numerical representation and it works, but there is an anoying thing. When I enter "0.0" as an extended numerical constant, the program treats it as "0.0", but the displayed number in constant'sa box is something different, for example "0.1". The same happens with other extended numbers in constants, controls and indicators. Has this been a bug in LV 6i, or am I doing anything wrong?

Hi Andy,
I am using Mac OS 9 and OS 9 subsystem of Mac OS X (10.3.9). I attached two screenshots to demonstrate my issue. Say I want to set the middle control "maximum energy step (meV)" to 0.01. The "pre-enter.tiff" is to show the control after I wrote the number in, before I hit enter. The "post-enter.tiff" is the display I see after I hit enter. The same thing happens with constants, see my following post...
Cheers!

Displaying row numbers in tables

Is there a way to get JTable to display row numbers on the left-most side of the table? Are there any functions in JTable that will allow you to do this?
I am thinking that to do this, I will probably need to add a column to my table model and make the first column and uneditable JLabel that shows the row number.
Thanks for any help.
Mike Ryan

Ok , the class i am pulling this code from is 500+ lines of code, so I will try to pull out only the important pieces.
private DefaultTableModel theNorthernModel;
private JTable theNorthernTable;
private DefaultTableCellRenderer[] theRenderer;
private JScrollPane theNorthernPane;
private Object[] rowTitles = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"};//
private Object[] colTitles = {"one","two","three","four","five","six"};
     theNorthernModel = new DefaultTableModel(rowTitles.length,colTitles.length);
          theNorthernTable = new JTable(theNorthernModel);
          theNorthernTable.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);
          theNorthernTable.setEnabled(false);
          theNorthernTable.getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
          theNorthernPane = new JScrollPane(theNorthernTable);
          theNorthernPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 150));
//this is the stuff you want
ListModel listModel = new AbstractListModel() {
             public int getSize() {
                     return rowTitles.length;
            public Object getElementAt(int index) {
                 return rowTitles[index];
        JList rowHeader1 = new JList(listModel);
        rowHeader1.setBackground(theNorthernPane.getBackground());
        rowHeader1.setFixedCellWidth(140);
        theNorthernPane.setViewportView(theNorthernTable);
        theNorthernPane.setRowHeaderView(rowHeader1);
        rowHeader1.setCellRenderer(new RowHeaderRenderer(theNorthernTable));
theRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer[6];
          for(int i = 0; i< 6; i++) {
               theRenderer[i] = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
theColumnModel = (DefaultTableColumnModel)theNorthernTable.getColumnModel();
* RowHeaderRenderer renders the panel's rows
class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
     * Constructor creates all cells the same
     * To change look for individual cells put code in
     * getListCellRendererComponent method
    RowHeaderRenderer(JTable table) {
        JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
        setOpaque(true);
        setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
        setHorizontalAlignment(CENTER);
        setForeground(header.getForeground());
        setBackground(header.getBackground());
        setFont(header.getFont());
     * Returns the JLabel after setting the text of the cell
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list,
    Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
        setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
        return this;
}

Do numerical indicators display extended precision floats correctly?

I'm using windows XP sp2 on a new computer with a new intel processor, nothing weird. I'm displaying an extended precision floating point number using a numeric indicator that is set to display an extended data type with thirty digits of precision. I expect to see at least 19 or 20 significant digits out of my extended precision float, but the numeric indicator only ever displays 17 significant digits before going to a trail of zeros. Does the display routine that converts the float to a display string use double precision or what?

Yes, I understand what you are saying and you are completely correct. The problem I have is not that I expect a mathematically perfect representation of a number, but rather that LabVIEW calculates and produces an 80-bit extended precision number on my computer and then appears to convert it to a 64-bit representation of that number before displaying it!
If you convert the extended precision value into an unflattened string in order to attempt to access the binary representation of the data, you’ll find that it is represented by 80-bits. This is a 64-bit fraction plus a 15-bit exponent plus one bit for the sign. Delightfully, the flatten to string function appears to scramble the bits into “noncontiguous” pieces, so about all I can tell for certain is that we have, as expected, an 80-bit extended precision number in memory. The documentation for the other number-to-Boolean array and bit manipulation functions I looked at (even the exponent-mantissa function) all claim to only be able to handle a maximum input of a 64-bit number (double precision float max) -correct me if I’m wrong on this one, because I’d really like to be able to see the contiguous binary representation of 80-bit extended floats.
It turns out though that what you said about not being able to tell whether we have twenty digits of precision without bit fiddling is not true at all. If you look at the program I wrote, you can prove with simple addition and subtraction that beyond the shadow of a doubt the extended numbers are being stored and calculated with twenty digits of precision on my computer yet being displayed with less precision.
As you can plainly see in the previous example I sent:
A =          0.1111111111
B =         0.00000000001111111111
A+B=C= 0.11111111111111111111
We know that
C-A=B
The actual answer we get is
C-A=0.00000000001111111110887672
Instead of the unattainable ideal of
C-A=0.00000000001111111111
The first nineteen digits of the calculated answer are exactly correct. The remainder of the actual answer is equal to 88.7672% of the remainder of the perfect answer, so we effectively have 19.887672 digits of accuracy.
That all sounds well and good until you realize that no individual number displayed on the front panel seems to be displayed with more than 16-17 significant digits of accuracy.
As you see below, the number displayed for the value of A+B was definitely not as close to being the right answer as the number LabVIEW stores internally in memory.
A+B=0.11111111111111111111 (the mathematically ideal result)
A+B=0.111111111111111105     (what LabVIEW displays as its result)
We know darned well that if the final answer of A+B-A was accurate to twenty digits, then the intermediate step of A-B did not have a huge error in the seventeenth or eighteenth digit! The value being displayed by LabVIEW is not close to being the value in the LabVIEW variable because if it were then the result of the subtract operation would be drastically different!
0.11111111111111110500       (this is what LabVIEW shows as A+B)
0.11111111110000000000       (this is what we entered and what LabVIEW shows for A)
0.00000000001111110500    (this is the best we can expect for A+B-A)
0.00000000001111111110887672 this is what LabVIEW manages to calculate.
The final number LabVIEW calculates magically has extra accuracy conjured back into it somehow! It’s more than 1000 times more accurate than a perfect calculation using the corrupted value of A+B that the display shows us – the three extra digits give us three orders of magnitude better resolution than should be possible unless LabVIEW is displaying a less accurate version of A+B than is actually being used!
This would be like making a huge mistake at the beginning of a math problem, and then making a huge mistake at the end and having them cancel each other out. Except imagine getting that lucky on every answer on every question. No matter what numbers I plug into my LabVIEW program, the intermediate step of A+B has only about 16-17 digits of accuracy, but miraculously the final step of A+B-A will have 19-20 digits of accuracy. The final box at the bottom of the program shows why.
If you convert the numbers to double and use doubles to calculate the final answer, you only get 16-17 digits of accuracy. That’s no surprise because 16 digits of accuracy is about as good as you’re gonna do with a 64-bit floating point representation. So it’s no wonder all the extended numbers I display appear to only have the same accuracy as a 64-bit representation because the display routine is using double precision numbers, not extended precision.
This is not cool at all. The indicator is labeled as being able to accept an extended precision number and it allows the user to crank out a ridiculous number of significant digits. There is no little red dot on the input wire telling me, ‘hey, I’m converting to a less accurate representation here, ok!’ Instead, the icon shows me ‘EXT’ for ‘Hey, I’m set to extended precision!’
The irony is that the documentation for the addition function indicates that it converts input to double. It obviously can handle extended.
I’ve included a modified version of the vi for you to tinker with. Enter some different numbers on the front panel and see what I mean.
Regardless of all this jazz, if someone knows the real scoop on the original question, please end our suffering: Can LabVIEW display extended floating point numbers properly, or is it converting to double precision somewhere before numerals get written to the front panel indicator?

Help with display of numbers

First of all I have to say the tutorials on this site are extremely helpful. My instructor wants all our java code written as Object Oriented and when I did a search on here for Object Oriented it totally helped out. Now I just need help with the display of numbers, my code works perfectly fine except that the number has wayyyyyyyyyyy to many decimal points after it. I only wanted two.
public class Mortgage
     double mtgAmount;
     double mtgTerm;
     double mtgRate;
     double monthPymt;
          public void Amount(double newValue)
               mtgAmount = newValue;
          public double Amount()
               return mtgAmount;
          public void Term(double newValue)
               mtgTerm = newValue;
          public double Term()
               return mtgTerm;
          public void Rate(double newValue)
               mtgRate = newValue;
          public double Rate()
               return mtgRate;
          public void calcmonthPymt(double newValue)                            //(LoanAmt * Rate) / (1- Math.pow(1+Rate,-Term));
               monthPymt = (newValue);
          public void display()
          System.out.println ("The Mortgage Amount is:" +(Amount( ) * Rate( )) / (1- Math.pow(1+Rate( ),-Term( ))));
     public static void main (String[] args)
               Mortgage Mortgage1=new Mortgage();
               Mortgage1.Amount(200000);
               Mortgage1.Term(360);
               Mortgage1.Rate(.0575);
               Mortgage1.display();
}

I figured it out, the math is wrong I think but I got everything to display correctly
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Mortgage
     double mtgAmount;
     double mtgTerm;
     double mtgRate;
     double monthPymt;
     DecimalFormat money = new DecimalFormat("$0.00");
          public void Amount(double newValue)
               mtgAmount = newValue;
          public double Amount()
               return mtgAmount;
          public void Term(double newValue)
               mtgTerm = newValue;
          public double Term()
               return mtgTerm;
          public void Rate(double newValue)
               mtgRate = newValue;
          public double Rate()
               return mtgRate;
          public void calcmonthPymt(double newValue)                            //(LoanAmt * Rate) / (1- Math.pow(1+Rate,-Term));
               monthPymt = (newValue);
          public void display()
          monthPymt = (Amount( ) * Rate( )) / (1- Math.pow(1+Rate( ),-Term( )));
          System.out.printf("The payment amount is:$%.2f", monthPymt);
          System.out.println();
     public static void main (String[] args)
               Mortgage Mortgage1=new Mortgage();
               Mortgage1.Amount(200000);
               Mortgage1.Term(360);
               Mortgage1.Rate(.0575);
               Mortgage1.display();

Displaying negative numbers under certain conditions

I have a Crystal Report which I am developing and need to display positive numbers as negative, but only under certain conditions. I did not see anything on this type of questions so I decided to join and post it up myself. This is a transfer report so if the location number entered in the parameter list is the SHIPPING location, I need to display retail, cost, and totals as negative. Here is the formula which I came up with for ext cost, but it is returning all zeros. I cannot seperate the to and from locations in the parameters because this report needs to display both in and out of that location.
if totext({?loc}) = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM}) then ({Command.EXT_COST}*-1)
Any suggestions? Appreciate the help!

Hi Jon,
If it returns zeroes, then it means that this part of the code fails:
totext({?loc}) = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM})
Do you have records where the value entered in the 'loc' prompt matches with records in the SHIP_FROM column on the report?
See if this helps:
if totext({?loc},0,"") = totext({Command.SHIP_FROM},0,"") then ({Command.EXT_COST}*-1)

Calendar will continue to be a problem until Microsoft makes them available in a format that is standards based.
Google, much a I question their integrity make use of Open standards. Yahoo, even as they stumble from disaster to snafu also use standards. GMX the largest provider in Europe I am told, also uses standards. Even Apple manage to use standards. Only Microsoft stands out there using proprietary protocols that must be licensed from them. It is however a good way to ensure vendor lock in. They have no iTunes to keep the customers loyal and spending money

Is it possible to extend Numbers' function list?

Hi,
I like Numbers, but, sadly, can't use it that much for my options trading because it lacks some important statistical functions like normdist().
Is it at all possible to extend Numbers myself to add this function? Its not hard to compute, but isn't the sort of thing you can do in a single expression.
Please advise.

Hello
This would require a single addition: the MACRO() function which is available in AppleWorks.
From my point of view it's a pity that they dropped it but *maybe I am in the 20% users which need it*

How to display Values(Numbers) in 3D Graph?

Hi!
PFA below. Its regarding the screen shot of 3D Graph.
As we can see in the picture that the values are not accurate to view. So its better to display values(numbers) on top of each tower in 3D Graph.
How to display that? Kindly suggest me any solution.
