format attributes
The format attributes are used to configure the output formats used by the printnumber
and
printbuffer functions. These attributes are used to set the data format (ASCII or binary),
ASCII precision (number of digits) and binary byte order (normal or swapped).
exit
format.asciiprecision
Attribute The precision (number of digits) for all numbers printed with the ASCII format.
Usage
precision = format.asciiprecision -- Reads precision.
format.asciiprecision = precision -- Writes precision.
precision Set from 1 to 16.
Remarks
• This attribute selects the precision (number of digits) for data printed with the print,
printnumber and printbuffer functions. The precision attribute is only used with
the ASCII format. The precision must be a number between 1 and 16.
• Note that the precision is the number of significant digits printed. There will always
be one digit to the left of the decimal point. Be sure to include this digit when setting
the precision.
• The default (reset) precision is 6.
Also see format.byteorder, format.data, printbuffer, printnumber
Example
Sets the ASCII precision to 7 digits and prints a number:
format.asciiprecision = 7
print(2.5)
Output: 2.500000E+00
