Tip Using the "Display Wizard" located under the "Event Wizard" or "Variable Wizard" can help
with formulating display strings.
Display Strings can be formulated with variable "placeholders." The correct % placeholder to use
depends on the type of variable being inserted. The table below shows the placeholders and their
description.
Formatting a Display String
Variable Type to
Insert
%
Description
String, Display String
%s
Inserts the text in string format. Hex characters are
converted into ASCII printable characters like "h0D".
Timecode
%s
Inserts time in the format "00:00:02.01"
Timecode
%d
Inserts the number of frames – ie: 61
Integer
%d
Inserts number without leading zeros or spaces. To add
leading zeros, use %0nD where "0" indicates to pad
with zeros and "n" is number of zeros to pad. For
example: %03d will insert the number 2 as 002.
Integer
%X
Inserts the number as a hex string. For example, the
number 11 would be inserted as 0B.
Integer
%p
No conversion to ASCII will be made, and the number
will be placed in the string. For example, the number
13 (hex 0D) will be inserted as a Hard Return.
