Convert Decimal to Zero-Padded String

[AndyCandy]

Overview

LabVIEW contains many functions for converting a numeric input to a string.  In certain cases, however, we would like to specify the number of digits by which the output string is represented.  This VI demonstrates how to convert a numeric to a string, and pad it with zeros until the desired number of digits is reached.

Description

This code takes a numeric input, and outputs it in string representation with the number of digits specified by the user.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Specify the Numeric Input to be converted.
2. Specify the Number of Digits.
3. Run the VI
4. View the Output String
