type-casting fixed-point to string

Technical NI LabVIEW

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?

Which Language?

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.

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.
