In the probe watch window I can change the radix in the probe display pane to display hex, but the value shown in the table retains the decimal display. Would be nice if the table value were displayed in the same radix as the probe display.
I have absolutely no idea how we would make that work, but I can see it being a good idea. The probe watch window just displays the string version and then the graphical version. There's no "round tripping" of data. If you were to write a custom probe to do this, you can see the problem. The custom probe has a place to put code to poll the radix of the panel control before calculating the string, and then displays into both the control and the watch window. However, the string is fixed after written, so even in a custom probe, changing the radix after the string is displayed will have no effect (unless the probe executes a second time).
Making this work might entail adding a lot of weight to the built-in probes, especially when we start talking about clusters of numerics.
Even though I have no idea how to do it at the moment... Kudos.
Adding an independent radix switch to the table view would be okay with me. In fact, I think I'd even prefer that as it would require a lot less mousing around when I have a series of probes to switch and I could close the probe pane altogether.
I poked around for the Probe Watch Window source vi but couldn't find it. Any chance of getting an unlocked version for tinkering?

Only the panel is a VI. All of its back end is in C++ because it has to hook directly to the execution engine for performance. And the panel itself is compiled into LV.
