Configuring the x-Axis of a Diagramm in Hexadecimal

[Aurelior]

Hi,

I have to plot some Data (XY-Graph) and configure the X-Axis in hexadecimal.

As some values are negative, I get the complement like FFFFFFFFFFFFC000  (16 Characters) but I need it with

something like 4-8 Characters. Any solutions?

Thank You

Hi Aurelior,

but I need it with something like 4-8 Characters. Any solutions?

Use a I16 for 4 characters, or a I32 for 8 characters.

Actually, I tried this:

Did I do the configuring in the wrong place?

Hi Aurelior,

it seems the XY graph internally works with I64 values for the X axis…

Maybe you should aks the NI support?

[Aurelior]

Does this mean it is a problem with the Version installed on my computer or my personal configurations?

Hi Aurelior,

I guess it's a problem of the XY graph. I don't think the behaviour is caused by your "personal configuration"…

A hexadecimal format does not contain a symbol for sign and graph axes cannot have a custom format (e.g. a string containing the sign (+/-) and the absolute value formatted in hex).

 Unfortunately, this idea is not implemented, so please vote for it. 😄

All right, so there's no way to fix it, but I can stop searching. Of course I will support the implentation, I hope it will not take another 9 years.. 🙂
