Unable to wire a specific code

Dear Experts,

 

I am trying to recreate a specific piece of code which involves working with slider. I am wiring with all the same terminals and properties, still I am unable to succeed doing the same. Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

It would be better if you attached the actual VI so we could poke around with it.  A picture doesn't do much.

 

The one thing I see is that the string in the units converter appears different.  One has a space before GHz, the other after.

 

Do you even need to use the units converter?  That feature was a good idea in LabVIEW, but never really worked fully.  It has some bugs associated.  A few people here love it.  Most, including me, just avoid it.  The benefit has never outweighed the potential problems.

Also note that Expression Node and Convert Unit look exactly the same, but do something completelly different. I couldn't replicate your exact situation, but perhaps it's worth double checking.

Hi salauddin,

 

two faults:

1. You are trying to wire the wrong input of NumberToFractionalString.

2. The slider named "DAC sampling…" already has a unit and ConvertUnit removes it while the slider "Slide" has no unit and ConvertUnit adds the unit. NumberToFractionalString does not support inputs with units - as is been reported by the context help when you hover over the broken wire…

 

Did you take the LabVIEW basics tutorials?

Best regards,
GerdW
