Odd behavior when using units and ring controls

[Baobob]

Hello,

Something unexpected happens when using a ring control with units:

1. Create ring control,
2. change representation to double,
3. display unit label,
4. set mV as the unit,
5. edit items
1. disable sequential values,
2. add an item with non-zero value e.g. 123,
3. OK,
6. select the created value,
7. create a DBL indicator with V as unit,
8. wire the control to the indicator,
9. run

What I am seeing in the indicator is 123 V instead of the expected 0.123 V

Are you guys able to reproduce this?

Noticed on LabVIEW 2013 and 2014, 32 and 64 bit on Windows 7 and 8.1

Thanks,

Boris

Make the digital display of the ring control visible.  You'll see that the units you enter under the edit items menu is actually volts.  Any prefix to the units just affects the display.

I see. Makes sense now, thanks!
