type-casting fixed-point to string

Is there a known issue with type-casting a fixed-point number to a string on the cRIO?
I'm trying, and it turns out empty data. However, it works fine on my computer.

Any ideas?

Re: type-casting fixed-point to string

Fixed point numeric support went into LV just a few years ago, so it may very well be a bug. It may also be that you are doing something few have tried. Please attach a simple VI showing the issue.

Here's an example.

It looks like the "flatten to string" function works, though.

Re: type-casting fixed-point to string

If I run the attached VI on LV 8.6, both flatten and typecast produce the same values -- for the half dozen I've tried. If there wasn't a specific value that failed, it looks like a bug in 8.5 that was corrected.
