Issue Details

I am creating a program to collect data using cDAQ, and I would like to record the date and time as part of the data information.
However, the 12-digit number representing the date and time exceeds the bit limit of Scan From String VI using %d format string as shown in below image.

 

 

 

Could you please advise me on how to proceed?

Solution

By default, %d format string will cast to signed 32-bit integer (I32) numeric data type which restricted to 2147483647. In order to output signed 64-bit integer to display larger value, you need to create a signed 64-bit integer numeric constant and connect it to the default value terminal of the Scan From String VI as illustrated below.
