D2.2 help

okay so i almost have it put together. i am super new to the class (only 2 weeks in) but i am trying to figure out how i can make a numeric indicator only show numbers greater than 0. since i can only use  mathmatic functions as inputys to numeric indicators this is really stumping me. 

thanks

Could you please provide more info as what you mean by greater than "0"?
-If you want to display only positive integers you need to select indicator data type to "unsigned".
Thanks

Hi James,

 

how i can make a numeric indicator only show numbers greater than 0.

Use a MinMax function before your indicator. Wire a "epsilon" constant to the 2nd input of MinMax and use the Max output to get a number "greater than zero" to show on your indicator:

indicator := MinMax(input; epsilon)

General recommendation:

- You thread title is silly: everybody is looking for "help" in a forum and "D2.2" is no LabVIEW specific term either. Use a better title the next time!

- Usually you should also show your VI and tell us where you are stuck. Nobody will do your homework for you from scratch!

Best regards,
GerdW
