Control and simulation multisim, decimal precision

[MarnixGi]

I'm using labview to simulate a multisim circuit with an input and an output voltage. The voltage comes out of the multisim module and goes into a collector and is written to a text file.The values I receive in Labview have 6 decimal numbers (0.XXXXXX). I need a more accurate reading. Is there a way to increase the precision ? Preferably around 10-12 decimal numbers.

Generic answer: change the formatting settings (of your indicators and file write options)!

Thanks, it was indeed the format in the 'write to spreadsheet' function. I changed this format to %.12f and everything works now. In case this helps someone else these are all formatting possibilities.
