Donald Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello, I would like to hear your opinion whether the problem demonstrated in the attached VI should be reported as a bug. I found this problem when I was developing a GPIB(VISA) driver for an old HP Pulse Counter. I've often seen a + sign in front of numerical strings when using SCPI based instrument interface so I guess this info could be usefull for other developers. Why using a unsigned data type someone might ask, well the instrument was a counter so I needed a U32 data range. Best Regards, Donald Download File:post-2015-1168603443.vi Quote Link to comment
castech Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi Donald, I am not sure that this is a bug but agree that it is inconvenient (and possibly uindesirable). An unsigned datatype does not expect a sign as it assumes the value to be '+' anyway and therefore the sign is an invalid character. It is very easy to trap out though. Cheers Quote Link to comment
