radix point

[Doyon]

Hello,

In a old version of LV I was using point to represent the radix point. With 8.2.1 I need to represent it with the coma. Can I change this setup ?

Thx

That depends on many things. Are you talking about numeric indicators on the front panel, numbers formatted as strings, etc.?

Is your computer configured for a country that uses comma as decimal seperator? If so, Look under front panel options and make sure "use localize decimal point" is checked.

Many formatting functions also give you a choice. There is even a formatting code you can use "%,;" or "%.;" to select the desired seperator and %; to switch back to the defaults. Can you give us a bit more details?

hi altenbach,

You had right. It was the regional and language options my problem.

Anyhow, I would like to know where I can use the formatting code %,; and %.;

thanks

These specifiers can be used whenever you are converting number to strings or viceversa using function that have a Format String input (e.g. Format Into String or Scan From String).

Here's an example:
