Problem with Floating point numbers

Hi, i am using the Community Version for MacOS 14.4 (M1 Mac). When I create a DBL Numeric Constant and I Enter a value, for example 1,5 or 1.5 and I press Enter or click out of the Constant, the Value just changes to 1. Also when I Create a Numeric Control (Representation set to Double) and I try to set the Increment to 0.5 it does the same thing and just lets me set it to Integers. I just can't enter anything after the ".". 

My System language is German and the Community Version is in English so maybe it has something to do with that.

 

I appreciate your Help.

I have the same Problem. I am using the Community Version for Mac OS. When I create a DBL Numeric Constant I can enter 1.5 or 1,5 for example but the Constant changes to 1 as soon as I hit enter.

And what is their Display Format? (you can find it in the Control properties or right-clicking on the constant)

Is it orange? If it's blue it's an integer, then you need to r-click and change representation to Dbl. If it's a front panel object it's properties might be set to minimum step 1 and coerce to nearest.

Hi. I'm experiencing the same problem with decimal numbers when using Numeric Contants and Numeric Controls/Indicators.
I downloaded the Labview CE 2023 Q3 patch on my Mac, but it only containts an HTTP Drivers file plus an Extras and a Licences, Patents & Copywrites folder.
Can you explain what you did?

Sorry, I'm officially blind.
The patch was right in the corner.
Installed it, and now it works!
Thanks! You spared me a lot of trouble.
