Advanced Format String to show mA

[davidfla90]

Hey,

I have a display in my program thats show the current measured using a SMU, I want that display to show mA instead of A.

Example

.00548 A

-> 5.48 mA

Or

5.48E-5 A

-> 5.48E-2 mA

Anybody know how this can be accomplished?

Is there a specific Format String i can use in data display?

Which kind of indicator are you using to display the value in mA? Is a numeric indicator or a string?

Hey,

It's numeric indicator that I want to display mA.

Hey,

This is handy but, the problem is that i have Amps and need to convert them to mA, then display them.

Is there an easy way to do this (ie a format string) or will i have to alter the value before i display it?

[g_Ricky]

Sorry but I didn't get you! You simply have to transform the data in mA so, why don't you want to multiply the value per 1000?

It seems to work very good!
