Decimal Symbol

The Decimal Symbol application was designed to be a small toll that will demonstrate the "Decimal Symbol" system issue. You can change the decimal symbol "on the fly". Enter the number with the comma and try to read back with the decimal point.

The program was made to demonstrate a problem with a Motion Control Windows program made in the USA. This program runs only correct on computer where the decimal symbol is the POINT.

The problem is most common in Germany and France. Many customers lost several days before they solved the problem. Some of them were very frustrated and angry. After losing several days, they call me, and then changing the decimal symbol in Windows solved the problem.

Not all customers do accept this. They say that the software must be working on their computer with the standard European (comma) setting.
