Rounding Numbers After the Decimal Place To A Specific Number Of Places

[G_Lo]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to round a number after the decimal point to a specific number of places.

Description

This example code allows the user to round numbers after the decimal place by treating these numbers as integers. For example, assume the user starts with the number 54.345 and wanted to round this number two places after the decimal point. This example would multiply the number by 10^2 to move the decimal two places to the right. The "Round to Nearest" function is then used to round 5434.5 to the nearest integer resulting in 5435. The code will then divide 5435 by 10^2 to move the decimal back to the left by two places. This results in the number 54.35.

Requirements

 Software

• LabVIEW Base Development System 2012 (or compatible)
• If running in a Real-Time context, you will need the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 2012 (or compatible)

 Hardware

• No hardware is necessary to use this example VI

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and open the attached VI
2. Run the program
