losing digits with numeric conversion

[JoVMo]

Labview is removing trailing zero's at the left. It's working numerical.

But I want to do binary conversions and don't want the trailing zero's to be touched because I use it for vesion numbering.

How to keep them?

Please explain your problem better, are you converting between string and datatype? Do you want to see all 0's in a indicator?

For the indicator you can change it's Properties to show extra zeroes, for conversion there's a bunch of ways.

Following example removes the left zero's.

Hi JoVMo,

You can right click the numberic indicator and click on "Display Format..."

There is a tick box that says "Use minimum field width".

Tick that and select the number of digits you want to display.

There is then a drop down menu that allows you to select:

Pad with spaces on the left

Pad with spaces on the right

Pad with zeros on the left

And a conversion back to string let it drop the zero's. ??

Use the "Format Value" function with a format specifier of %08B (8 binary characters).

Hope this helps.
