Issue Details

I have enabled the unit label option in a numeric control. I have selected 's' as in second, tested the functionality and I have disabled the unit label. I notice that the numeric control is still associated with the units. Is there a way to disable this? 

Solution

In order to dissociate the previously selected units when enabling the unit label in LabVIEW, users could use the following steps:
  1.  Enable the unit label. (In case disabled)
  2. Delete the units next to the edit box of the numeric control. Here is a reference:

  3. Users will notice that the unit label is then automatically disabled.

After this, the units should not be attached to the numeric control, so users can manipulate the input according to their overall needs.
