Fluke 8508a cut decimal digits

Hello everyone,
i have problem with data read on fluke 8508a. I have installed fluke drivers, visa 3.2 driver on labview 2009. When reading data from fluke multimeter it cuts decimal digits off. For example if i have 10.225V on multimeter it shows me just 10V on labview VI.
Thanks in advance,
Nedeljko!

Hi ahem,
change your computer to use the point as decimal separator and everything should be fine!
Most instrument drivers expect "English" regional settings using the point as decimal separator while not checking for it.
All measurement devices use the point. When your computer doesn't use the point, but a comma instead you have to change either your computer settings or the instrument driver…

15 int digits and 3 decimal digits number problem in CR for VS 2005

Post Author: condeagustin
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
HiIm using the Crystal Reports that comes with VS 2005 and I'm having a problem showing a number with 15 int digits and 3 decimal digits. In my tests, for example I have a formula that only has this line of code: 356125478123456.251I want the report to show 356,125,478,123,456.251 but it shows 356,125,478,123,456.000Why does CR puts 000 when it has to be a 251!!! WHY?!!!! I have tried to put the number as a string and I have tried a lot of functions like Round, Truncate, ToText, CDbl, etc and it's always the same result. In the format object of that formula the decimals are 1.000 and the rounding is 0.001. And the following is the weirdest part:If, instead of 356125478123456.251 I put 56125478123456.251, CR shows 56,125,478,123,456.300If then I put 6125478123456.251 CR shows 6,125,478,123,456.250And then if I put 125478123456.251 CR SUCCESFULLY shows 125,478,123,456.251 That is the way I want it but with 15 int digits. It looks like CR only works with a maximum of 12 int digits, more than that, the decimals don't work. How can I fix this? Please help me!Kind regards,Agustín Conde

Hi Agustin,
Crystal Reports uses signed doubles as its datatype for numbers. A signed double on a 32 bit machine is represented by 8 bytes. 1 sign bit, 11 exponent bit, and 52 bit for the mantissa. This roughly corresponds to 15 digits of total precision in decimal; ie. it does not matter where your dot is. You have 15 digits before and after the decimal point combined.
This behavior is pretty standard. You should see similar behavior in applications such as excel.
Hope this helps,
Ken

Type "CURR - Currency field, stored as DEC" only contains 2 decimal digits?

We have a KF which has a data type of "CURR - Currency field, stored as DEC" mapped to a R3 field with 3 decimal digits, but "CURR - Currency field, stored as DEC" data type in BW/BI takes up only 2 decimal digits that the last digit of R3 field value is ignored.
Any idea for a workaround?
Thanks!

Formula Variable decimal digits precision

Hi All,
I am using a formual variable checked for cumulated and digits to be 0.00. But with report output displays, decimal places upto 7 digits.
When I uncheck cumulated, it displays properly with two decimal digits.
Can you please throw some light on how to bring 2 decimal digit precision with checked for cumulated ?
Thanks,
Sri Arun Prian

Hi Arun,
As suggested by Akhan,Click on the KF and go to the display of KF and make the Decimals as 0.00.

Reducing decimal digits

Hi Experts!!
I have simple doubt.
I have a variable having 4 digits after decimals..
I want it to store it in a variable with 2 decimal digits only.
How can I do this without much numerical manipulation.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
declare a variable
data temp type p decimals 2.
temp = variable "(ur var with 4 deci places).
write temp.
rounding ll also be done automatically
Cheers,

Ipod cuts off digitally converted analog songs

I converted a number of my vinyl albums to digital files so I could put them on my ipod. In the conversion process, something happened so that when I play the songs on my ipod, they cut off before the end. This is curious because when I fast forward through the songs on my ipod, all of the songs are there. I suspect that something in the conversion process messed up the listed times for the songs.
Does anyone know of a way I can fix this?
thanks

They play correctly in itunes.
The mistake I made was converting the ripped wave files into mp3s. Somehow the way this conversion was done did something to alter the listed times for the songs. The whole song is there but the ipod cuts off at an earlier time.
If I could edit the files to change the listed time, I think I might be able to fool the ipod so that it plays the whole song.

Decimal digits in Qunatity

Hi Experts,
We are in Gold ornaments retail business.
1. The quantity of items decimal units required is 3, say, 8.599 gms. The decimal units in gneral settings of item quantity was set as 4, and the reports also was generated. If now to change from 4 digits to 3, is it possible?
2. Is it required to create new data base and start afresh, to change the 4 decimals to 3 decimals?
Please clarify.

Dear Chandra,
U cannot come down on the no of decimal places, but u can only increase. So i suggest u to create a new DB.

I am trying to only display at most two decimal digits.

I am writtng a java app that computes an energy bill, but the computations are only supposed to display two decimals digits at the most.
here is my code, I am trying to find a way to only display the two digits after the decimal in the answer (print statement). I was thinking that I could use a string method or something.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class EnergyCost
public static void main(String[] args)
final double UsageRate = 0.0942;
final double PowerRate = 0.0075;
final double FuelFactor = 0.0001403;
final double TaxRate = 0.082;
int KiloHour;
double EnergyCharge, PowerCost, FuelAdjust, TaxCharge, Total;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Hello! My name is David and I will be helping you today!"); /*Done for aesthetics*/
System.out.println("Please enter the umber of kilowatt-hours used last month: ");
KiloHour = scan.nextInt();
EnergyCharge = KiloHour * UsageRate; /*Calculates the energy charge*/
PowerCost = KiloHour * PowerRate; /*Calculates the power supply cost*/
FuelAdjust = KiloHour * FuelFactor; /*Calcuates the fuel factor adjustement*/
TaxCharge = ((EnergyCharge + PowerCost) -(FuelAdjust)) * ( TaxRate); /*Calculates the Dollar amount of tax*/
Total= ((EnergyCharge + PowerCost) -(FuelAdjust)) + (TaxCharge); /*Calculates the total eneergy cost*/
System.out.println("The Energy Charge is " + EnergyCharge);
System.out.println("The Total Energy Charges is " + Total);
}

> System.out.println("Hello! My name is David and

EnergyCharge = KiloHour * UsageRate; /*Calculates the
energy charge*/
PowerCost = KiloHour * PowerRate; /*Calculates the
power supply cost*/
FuelAdjust = KiloHour * FuelFactor; /*Calcuates the

Do you think these comments add anything to your
code? Also; by convention, variable names should
start with lower-case letters.
I was told that comments are a good thing, and that I should get the habbit to comment as much as possible. It is also a major part of our grade. I was not aware the variable convention. You will have to excuse me but I am just starting. Thank you for letting me know that though.

Fixed decimal digits using to_number

Hi,
I have few values in table like 10.3, 20.10, 30.37,40. But I need to select always with 2 decimal points. can anyone help me to achieve this?
i.e I want the values to be retrieved as
10.30
20.10
30.37
40.00
Thanks in advance

Hi,
If your number are actually strings then try:
MHO%xe> with t as ( -- generating sample data:
2 select '10.3' col from dual union all
3 select '20.10' from dual union all
4 select '30.37' from dual union all
5 select '40.' from dual
6 )
7 --
8 -- actual query:
9 --
10 select to_char(to_number(col), '99D00')
11 from t;
TO_CHA
10.30
20.10
30.37
40.00else try:
select to_char(col, '99D00')
from t;See:

Decimal digits in payment

Dear all,
My client wants when the invoice comes for the payment, if it shows like this 1507.68, he wants to pay 1508.
At the time of payment, can we put 1508?
If we put like that, it is going to rounding off difference account.
Is there any other method to meet this requirement?
Thanks & Regards,
AR

Use rounding rule.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6 - Requirement is to show 3 digits after the decimal point.

Hi,
I have a requirement to concat 2 columns ( 1st column is a text column and 2nd column is a numeric column set as double in RPD). For the 2nd column, user wants to see 3 decimal digits all the time.
For example, if the value is 2.4567 then I need to show round off value 2.457 and if the value if 3.4 , then I need to show 3.400 and if the value is 4 then I need add decimal point and show 4.000.
Please let me know how I can achieve using OBIEE application without having to go through RPD.
Thanks

Try the following:
In this example:
Column 1: Month Name
Column 2: Revenue
Column 3: Month - Revenue
Formula for Month - Revenue column will be:
Month Name ||' - '|| cast(round(Revenue, 3) as char)Hope it helps.

In ML81N, Quantity Field allows maximum 3 digits after the decimal.

Hi Everyone!
        Hope things are going good.
        In SES, ML81N, The Vendor has a total invoiced value of $9033.5 .
        The Gross Price of the Product is USD 13,333.33
        The Quantity entered is                        .667 or .668.
         Both of the quanities entered gives a value which is $6 more or less.
        The only way to arrive at $9033.5 is to use quantity .6675 and the Quantity field does not allow the entry of more than 3 decimal digits.

Dont change the domain, as this has a huge impact on your system. At least talk to SAP before you are doing that.
I am just the opinion that you have a wrong unit of measure for your material.
You did not say what unit you use, but if it is KG, then you better use Gram to meet your requirement.

Does anyone have any idea how do i key in number that contains 20digit, 17 decimal places?

I need to key in a number that contains at least 17 decimal places using numeric digit control and i need to use expression note as well. Can anyone help?

After laying down a numeric control right click on it and select "Format and Precision..." to change the number of decimal places. You can also right click and change the "Representation" of the numeric control. By default it will be a DBL which is a 64 bit decimal number with an approximate range of 10**(-308) to 10**308. This is about 15 decimal digits of precision. I know SGL will only give you 10**(-38)to 10**38, which is about 7 decimal digits of precision. Neither of these will cut it for what you are trying to do.
I would recommend using the Extended Precision (EXT) representation. According to the linked document La
bVIEW's implementation of the Extended Precision follows the IEEE 80-bit spec(on Windows OSes). Supposedly even the IEEE 128-bit spec(not implemented on the Windows OSes)only gets you 19 decimal places but I am not sure what the limitations of LabVIEW's implementation are. (I found a good table in the LabVIEW help title, "Numeric Data Types Table".)
I was able to successfully get 17 digits after the decimal point but that was with a leading 0 only before the decimal point. I think you may just be approaching the limit of how a number can be represented in this programming language.
Anyone else?

Your requirement is to get two decimal digits for all the numbers right?
This should be possible if you goto the field which you want to have two decimal digits .Right click and goto BIP properties. Here in the properties tab you should see the option to format .Select type as number and choose the necessary format.

Decimal Places in Pivot table

Hi Gurus,
When I create a pivot table with a measure and I choose "Show Data as ...
percent of something (for example section) I get the result with 1 Decimal Place.
How to modify it for 2 or more Decimal Places?
Thanks
Laszlo

Hi Laszlo!
We have found and discussed the answer already, but to more people can see it I write it.
When You have the results already, You can use the 'Advanced' page to see the XML source. There you can modify the code carefully. Change the section:
<saw:dataFormat xsi:type="saw:percent" minDigits="2" maxDigits="2" scale="2"/>
Change maxDigits to the number of decimal digits You wanted.
Although we found the answer on the course, I found later this page - also could help:
