Only getting one significant figure on my excel file

I'm trying to create a program that exports the data from two pressure transducers and a thermocouple into a labeled excel file with headers and it currently does this but it doesnt export the decimal points of pressure or temperature. how do i change this?

This node right here:

That is "Number to Decimal string", but it actually does not use decimal points at all.  Use "Number to fractional string" instead.  That defaults to 6 digits of precision and has an input to change that number.

Hi Ford,

While Kyle gave you the answer I might suggest improvements:

  • Learn about coercion dots and their meaning. There are several dots in your image…
  • Learn proper array handling in LabVIEW. When you want to build an array then you should use BuildArray (but not InsertIntoArray)…
  • Try to reduce the usage of DDT wires (and ExpressVIs): they hide the underlying datatype from you…
  • You can implement scaling directly in DAQmx by applying scales to each channel…

 

Best regards,
GerdW
