Hi Parthabe,  Perhaps your comment here was referring to my post where I said "I don't understand your problem with Altenbach's VI."

We happened to be posting at about the same time.  I was responding to Playmaker's post where he said that Altenbach's results were incorrect.  Your post got in a minute before mine, so it sounded like I was referring to your inability to open it by not having LV 8 or 8.2.  That wasn't what I intended at all. 

Playmaker,  you should definitely post a VI for others to look at.  Altenbach's VI seems to work exactly as you asked for in you original post which is the basic concept of how to do the data manipulation.  Now it sounds like you have a few more requirements to add on.  That means Altenbach's VI needs to be modified from a quick example into a larger program structure.  Sending what you have so far will help everyone see what you are trying to do and help guide you into what your ultimate goal is for this VI.

I made a mistake by saying that Altenbach's VI was incorrect. It was definitely correct by concept. Thank You Altenbach.  I now am trying to modify that small part to the requirements of my VI by saying "if the value of "string" changes, increment "string 1" by 1.

Hello again how are you?

I am in need of your expertise once again. Thank ylou for helping me the first time.

I currently have two problems with my program.

•     Every time I have an input, I have to click outside of the string (input) box to see my output.
  
•     I have string and string 2. String 2 is a number which I set. I need something to say..."whenever the value of "string" changes, increment "string2" by one.
  
• From there the new value of string two will be converted to the 36 bit binary. So the concept was correct.
  
• I will basically need a string that can have a set value, and that value be overriden by the event structure

Any suggestions?


Thanks, I really appreciate it.

String controls have several options that you can set by right-clicking. If you want the string to accept the new value whenever you hit enter, select "limit to single line". If you want a change to be detected whenever you add or delete a character, set "update values while typing". Maybe you want to set both (See attached) ;).

Well, first of all you can possibly simplify the code by using a numeric indicator set to binary display. Also the start count could be numeric. I you really need a string, use the method from the previous code.

Attached is a simple draft. See if this can point you in the right direction.

Hi Ravens,

I knew where the just criticism was headed to...

Didnt U see the Wink smiley at the end of the line... ?!

No offence, no defence personally... only subject apart...

Thanks.

Ok, I see what you mean, but is there a way to actually see the value of "set number" change whenever the value of "string" changes. Currently, it  will increment the binary but not the "set number". Well I can try just to have another string or something else to prove that the actual number is being changed.


Thanks again and hope all is well.

Thank you for the vi. I do not need it to update while typing, because for every new value entered into the string, it will increment again. I have long pieces of information as my input. Here is an example "17V45XE41PABC-1234567890S10002". So everytime there is a new value of "string" , it needs to automatically update without me having to click outside the box called "string". 

Thanks

Well, set number is a control, setting the start value for the counting. Why should it change???. You are looking for a decimal indicator for the current value. 

Simply create a second numeric indicator and connect it also the the blue wire, right next to the binary indicator. Set it to decimal display. Voila!

(You can even do both formats in the same indicator by setting an advanced numeric format.
