You can specify the precision (the number of decimal places) that the display uses for each display variable.
You can set the precision independently for each display variable.
The display precision does not affect the actual value of the variable, the value used in calculations, or the
value reported via outputs or digital communications.
Procedure
1. Select a process variable or a diagnostic variable.
You can configure the precision for all variables, whether or not they are assigned as display variables.
The configured precision will be stored and used when applicable.
2. Set Number of Decimal Places to the number of decimal places to be used when this variable is shown
on the display.
• Default:
— Temperature variables: 2
— All other variables: 4
• Range: 0 to 5
Tip
The lower the precision, the greater the change must be for it to be reflected on the display. Do not set
Number of Decimal Places too low to be useful.
