»View Product Info

Numeric controls and indicators support the following:

  • Captions and labels.
  • Floating-point, scientific, and engineering notations.
  • Multiple needles on dials, meters, and gauges.
  • Resizing and changing the color of the increment and decrement buttons.
  • Text justification and underlining text.

Numeric controls and indicators do not support the following:

  • Radix or unit labels.
  • Significant digits.
  • Options in the advanced editing mode of the Display Format page of the Numeric Properties dialog box.
  • SI (System International) or relative time notations.
  • Time and date formats. Use a time stamp control instead.
  • Dials, meters, and slides do not support digital displays or ramps. You cannot invert the scales for dials, meters, or slides. Scales must be linear.
  • Dials, meters, and slides do not support transparency.
  • Data ranges that are different than the display range.
  • 64-bit signed or unsigned integers. If you use 64-bit signed or unsigned integers, LabVIEW generates 32-bit signed or unsigned integers when you build the VI into an application.
  • Extended-precision, floating-point numerics. If you use extended-precision, floating-point numerics, LabVIEW generates double-precision, floating-point numerics.
  • Two sliders on a slide control. If you use two sliders, an error occurs when you build the VI into an application, and the application contains only the first slider and its default value.
