Default values for numerics in User Prompt

I am using Input User Prompts to ask users for various inputs for certain test equipment.  I would like to have a default value in the prompt, but can not figure out how to do that.  Anyone have any recommendations?  I can initialize the value that shows up on the front panel, but as soon as the Input User Prompt pops up, it shows zero (0).

 

Thanks

I too am working on something where I'm attempting to do the same thing.  I have the front panel numerical values coming up on the Front Panel with the values I have established are the most typical for a certain project, but then want to allow the user to change one or several of them.

You just have to right click on the Express VI and select "Open Front Panel". This will covert it to a normal VI. Set the controls to a value and make them defaults with the Edit menu option. Save the VI.

Do you use the EXpress VI variant? Then you must convert the Express VI to a standard VI by open the front panel. Then set the defualt vaues, and use Make current values default in toolbar->edit then save



Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
