Data Entry Tab for Numeric Indicator does not Exist

[Red_CCF]

Hi

I'm trying to set the data range for numeric indicators on LabVIEW 10.0.1. For some reason when I go to properties of my numeric indicator, there is no Data Entry Tab as explained on the NI website: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/changing_data_ranges_of_nu/. Also, in the data type tab, there is a section for range but everything is grayed out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Why would there be data entry tab for an indicator?

In addition to it being an indicator there seems to be another problem.

a 0 bit length Fixed Point is a rare animal indeed!  Is this some object that has gone insane?  Can you post a snippet of that critter?

Jeff,

It is an I32 and not a fixed point and that is why everything under the fixed point configuration is greyed out and meaningless.

Hi

Thanks for the replies

I just realized that data entry on a numeric indicator doesn't really make sense. But my question is, how do I go about setting data range for a numeric indicator? Based on this tutorial : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320998a.pdf (Page 128/250) in the older versions there seems to be a data range tab or option when you write click the indicator. In my case, the range is greyed out and I tried to play with it with no avail.

Thanks very much

Digging up a very, very old manual (1996!) is not all that productive. If you want to restrict the output, simply use the In Range and Coerce function.

Hi

I just realized that the manual has a typo and they listed the wrong variable for me to change.
