Read numbers sent by Arduino in Labview

[Brasslike]

How do you retain decimal places with this example? I am busy reading from 5 flow meters and it keeps rounding down the flow rates to 1 significant figure. I have tried messing around with the format string but keeps round down the flow rates to 1 significant figure.

Which string do you receive?

Which formatstring do you mess with - and in which way do you mess around?

Mind to share your VI with typical data included?

Dear GerdW

I was messing with the format string on the "spreadsheet string to array" function. I do not know how to send you the data but here is a screenshot with some probe readings.

Hi,

your system seems to be using a comma (,) as decimal point. Try to use "%.;%5.2f" as format string, which will use a point as decimal point.
