Displaying hex values when editing a numeric control

[wwilliams]

The hex display is removed when editing a numeric control (in Control Settings) in cvi 2012. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Are you talking about the little 'x' disappering from the numeric control? Or does the complete control disappear? I'm not exactly sure what situation you are referring to, but I can edit numeric controls with hexadecimal display format... Do you have 'Show Radix' enabled?

When you Edit a Numeric control: The Control Settings view shows Default value, Minimum, Maximum: This used to display the selected format (Decimal, hex, binary, etc).

Hope this helps.

Thanks

This is how it looks for me (using CVI2012):

The image below is from CVI 2010. In CVI 2012 the Control Settings display decimal. Is this a bug in cvi 2012 or am i missing something.

You are correct that this behavior is different from CVI 2010 to CVI 2012. However, I will have to check with our R&D department whether this is a bug or an expected change made to the software. While the control settings are currently displayed in decimal, the preview window will show the equivalent hexadecimal value.

I have informed our R&D department of the format of the control settings in CVI 2012 . I have filed a Corrective Action Request (CAR# 379345) on this issue, but can not guarantee when this behavior will be fixed. You can check if this issue has been fixed in future versions of CVI by looking for the CAR identification number listed previously in the CVI Bug Fix Information.

Thanks Anjelica for checking this out.
