using units with quotient & remainder

[GerdW]

Hello everybody (and especially LabView developers),

I got a problem regarding physical units:
When I divide two numbers with unit "s" (time, seconds), then a normal divide gives me a number without unit (which is correct). When I use "quotient & remainder" instead then I get a number with unit "s" as remainder (which is correct) and a number with unit "s" as quotient which is NOT correct!

I really like to use units, but from time to time a find such (silly) calculation problems... That's annoying!

Best regards,
GerdW

Hello GerdW,

For some reason I'm not getting that... mine looks ok.
But you're right, sometimes it's a little bit annoying to work with units...

Hello PauloM,

I took your example and just inserted a new "quotient and remainder" and now look what happens...

Best regards,

Hi Guys,

could it be that the first terminal to be wired is calculated with units, and the second one isn't? Have you tried wiring both outputs on a single function, but the other way round than before?

Curious....

Hi,

Those are the reasons why I think it's annoying to work with units... I tryied once and after some time I gave up and took care of it myself.

I realize I revive and old thread but the issue is still present in LabVIEW 8.6.

The workaround is to always wire the Remainder output for the function to work as expected.

Unless it is already resolved in 2009, it should be reported as a bug.
