Digital unit control to string conversion

[LMartin]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to convert a digital control with min as unit, to a string.

The matter is that it will convert it to seconds before it updates the string indicator.

I noticed that the "format into string" will always convert first to the base unit (unit multiple value to unit value conversion), just like kW to W (10 kW will output 10000 W) for watt unit.

Is there a way to format the input value without this conversion to the base unit first ?

Thanks to you...

If you look up the Format Specifier Syntax in the LabVIEW help, you will see a Unit option.

Here is the format you want to keep the string in minutes: %{min}g

Didn't know about this one...
