Happy New Year, everybody! Today's nugget comes from <a href=" http://www.yqcomputer.com/ " target="_blank">altenbach</a>, who points out some pretty cool things you can do with the "Advanced editing mode" option on the <a href=" http://www.yqcomputer.com/ " target="_blank">Format and Precision property page</a> for Numeric controls:

As you can see, the value in a numeric control can be "redisplayed" in different formats *within the same control*. Also, descriptive text can be added within the control itself, eliminating the need for extra free labels on the front panel. In the VI screenshot below, several numeric controls have been formatted in different ways to illustrate the flexibility of format strings for Numeric controls. The format string used for each control is given as a free label next to the control. Notice the "Distance" and "Time" controls at the bottom, where the format string is used to give a more easily readable display of the actual value.
