Remove number unit in Format into String

Solved!
Go to solution

I want to send a String command to a VISA resource. On the UI is a double input field "amplitude" with unit volt. When using the "format into string" function, the unit ends up in the string send to the VISA device causing an error there:

Probe "5" always shows a string like "AMPL nn.nnn V;"

 

What would be the most elegant way to get rid of the unit?

Hi wgeithner,

 

remove the unit by inserting a ConvertUnit function before the FormatIntoString…

Best regards,
