addition of numerics of different formats

[labviewette]

hello,

can anyone explain to me: why do "sum" and "result" have different results shown for the same operation? they both have the same format.

mille grazie !

Hi,

If you go to the second indicator, go to advanced edit mode, change the small t to a big T.  Or the reverse 🙂   ( %<%H:%M:%S>T )

edit **  but I got some kind of 24 hour thing going 😞

Edit 2 **  I could get them to both show 24 hour time the same using both with Big T.  But changing both back to little t gives same weird result.

Seems to make a difference if you change to advanced mode and back to be able to toggle the 24 hour button.   I'm wondering if the controls have some similar subtle difference.

 Edit 3 **  When I replace input 2 with a copy of numeric 2, it all sorts out.  Something funky with that input 2, not sure what. 

Interesting puzzle, I haven't used the time formats much, thanks for the incentive 🙂

Hi,

I think the problem is a mix of relative and absolute time of the controls and indicators. I changed all settings to absolute time and everything works fine.

thanks for the replies and the effort.

mark, i spent a lot of time trying to figure out if there is a difference between "numeric" and "input" but found nothing...one of those mysteries. i stuck to the big-T solution.

I also found no difference between numeric2 and input2. How did you create input 2? Because with a new numeric input and the same settings everything works.

i copied it out of a vi i was debugging. the vi was also created in lv2011.

i hope i have the time to do so today: i want to compare each and every property of the two numerics.

hI,

I used the control-drag to make a copy.  I think sometimes the controls can just go 'wonky'.  So deleting and replaceing is a valid option.  I could not find a difference between them, but making the change resolved the issue on my copy.
