mathscript international settings

[woutert]

Hi,

Il live in Belgium, Europe and my international setting for floating point values is a coma and not a dot.

The example "Mathscript Fractal.vi" works only when I set a dot as international floating point separator.

I see no reason why it should not work if I don't change the mathscript code.

The international setting doesn't come into play.

The mathscript node holds only a textual representation of the code. So somewhere is a bug in your mathscript interface.

Hi woutert,

The issue that you are seeing is likely related to an issue in LabVIEW 8.0 MathScript that can occur when you run the English (non-localized) LabVIEW 8.0 release on a non-English (localized) version of Windows in which the floating point separator is a comma. 

The issue was identified and fixed for localized releases of LabVIEW 8.0 and so does not come up when you run a non-English (localized) release of LabVIEW 8.0 on a non-English (localized) version of Windows in which the floating point separator is a comma. 

A patch will be available soon that fixes this issue. In the meantime and as you have pointed out, you can change a LabVIEW setting "Use Localized Decimal Point" (available from the Tools-->Options dialog in the Front Panel category) as a workaround.

By the way, you might be interested to know that we have a forum dedicated to MathScript discussions such as this one. Here's a link: MathScript Discussion Forum.
