Features in This Dialog:

Decimal places section

▪Select the first option if you want to specify the number of decimal places on your own; choose an entry from the drop-down list.

▪Select the second option field if you want to specify the number of significant decimal places and the maximum number of decimal places.

▪Select the third option, if you want the rounding to consider the amount of the measured value: if it is >= 0.2, one decimal place is shown; if it is >= 0.02, two, otherwise three decimal places are shown. If the value is smaller than 0.01, the table contains the measured value expression “<0.01”.

▪If you select the Standard radio button, the number of decimal places is taken from the settings for the time series; it is rounded mathematically by default.

Rounding section

By selecting the appropriate radio button, you can choose between three kinds of rounding:

▪Mathematical: Default rounding

▪Even/odd: rounded up to an even figure if the last digit is a 5. Example: 1.25 => 1.2, but 1.35 => 1.4

▪According to ini entry: Rounding as specified in the aquisnet.ini file

Examples section

At the bottom of the window an example is shown of how the chosen kind of rounding will look like.

Further Hints

The rounding method is determined from the aquisnet.ini file; see the [Extras] section, entry sectionRoundMathematical. If this entry is 1, the rounding is mathematical, if it is 0, rounding will be carried out according to the even/odd method.
