Measuring Voltage with keithley 2700

Hello Users,

I am certainly no expert in LabVIEW and seek help to understand why my Program doesnt work as i intend to

LabviewLearnerMeasurement_0-1686570489803.png

This is My Labview program i use to get my voltage set via keithley 2231a that works fine and as intended.

my problem is when i run the program at the fract/exp string to number block my string i get from my keithley 2700 is like this 

LabviewLearnerMeasurement_1-1686570620453.png

i get for example +7.28878260E+00VDC,+10540.603SECS,+15793RDNG#

and the block makes it into a 7.0000. when i read the extended help it said

LabviewLearnerMeasurement_2-1686570694418.png

so how i as a non native english speaker understand that it should at least read to the 2nd +

can you help me get my float value from my string so i can use it for further programming would be nice.

 

Thank you in advance im curious finding out what the problem is and how to solve

Hi Learner,

 

read the help for that string formatting function, especially for that boolean input at the top…

Spoiler
When handling scientific measurement data you should always stick with English formatting of numeric values!
