Precision
Infra Suite keeps measurement data using IEEE floating-point precision, which is approximately 16 decimal digits. Displaying values on-screen using full precision is not really convenient, so you may set actual number of displayed digits using precision property setting. Please note that numeric precision truncates the values, not rounding them. For example:
Display precision "0":
Actual value = 100.45
Displayed value = 100
Display precision "0.0000":
Actual value = 100.4534932878
Displayed value = 100.4534
Rounding
Rounds a decimal value to the number of fractional digits specified in Precision property, for the on-screen displaying purposes. Infra Suite supports following types of decimals rounding:
