You can't display binary with floating point numbers.  Convert number to integer (U32,
U16, U16, U8) then click on indicator properties and change to binary

Create a property node for the indicator. Set the property to FORMAT and PRECISION - FORMAT. Set it to WRITE. Send a value of 3 to that property when you want to show binary. Send the value 0 to that property when you want to show decimal.

I would suggest always showing the radix, or some other way of letting the user know whether you're showing binary or decimal.

Alternatively, you can use the FormatString property node, and use %08b as format string : 08 means : pad the output with 0 to get a 8 digits wide result.
