SI Notation in Scan Value and Scan from String issue

Units is only supported in Format to string, not in scan from string...

 

From the link:

 

{Unit} (optional) Overrides the original unit of a VI when you use a function to convert a physical quantity (a value with an associated unit). You must use a compatible unit. You can use this syntax element only with the Format Into String function.

 

 


Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Oh its even worse than that. Now that I have data in a CSV using SI the comma screws things up as well. Now I can't scan "10M, -3.1" even though I use the same format string for conversion and scanning. SI makes text very human friendly to read but now I have to build a special function to parse it? Sheese. What a PITA.
