Hi Matthias, As per shawn, i m able to update the unit with prefix when you change the number in the control by selecting SI Notation. Thanx Shawn for updating my knowledge. Nirmal

Hi Mattias, It seems wrong that the prefix isn't updated. I'm probably missing something simple, but I haven't been able to reproduce this (the unit label always updates correctly when I try it.) If you can write a VI and describe the steps to reproduce this, I would be interested. Otherwise, I'll

Hi, I should have mentioned that I use the SI Notation in the indicator. So that is really a feature, not a bug. But the prefix isn't updated correctly. Matthias

Hello, When units are used with numerics in LabVIEW, the physical quantity is always in the base unit type (for length, the base unit is meters). If you ever see a case where .01 mm is displayed as 10 micrometers, this is a flaw in LabVIEW. (I haven't been able to reproduce it). If you can include

Dear Matthais, I think, value in the control gets scaled when u change the unit in the unit string, but not the unit when u change the value in the control. So if u need to scale the value & the unit, u need to program by using convert unit function. Morevoer unit gets updated correctly only onc

Hi, I observe the following problem in LabView 7.0: I have a numeric control with unit indicator. Depending on the value, the unit indicator should change its prefix (kilo,milli,etc.) and the displayed value is scaled accordingly. However, this does not work correctly: The value gets scaled, but t
