Number settings

Change the display settings for numerical data values on datasheets and in selection results in Settings > Numbers.

  1. Click Settings > Numbers.
  2. Choose the display notation for large values:
    • Scientific Notation - display numbers in standard form (for example: 2.3 × 10-7).
    • Engineering Notation - display numbers in standard form, using exponents that are multiples of 3 (for example: 0.23 × 10-6).
    • Matched Engineering Notation - display numbers in engineering notation, using the same exponent for the minimum and maximum values in a range (for example: 0.23 × 10-6 - 1100 × 10-6).
    Note:
    • Constants and Parameters are always displayed in Scientific Notation.
    • Matched Engineering Notation is only applied to datasheets - Engineering Notation is used for selection results when this option is selected.
  3. Enter a value between 0 and 6 into Number of figures to set the significant figures displayed on datasheets and in selection results.
    Note: Constants and Parameters are always displayed to 6 significant figures.
  4. Select Display data ranges as average values to show range data as the geometric mean.
    Note: Data values in the database and the ranking of selection results are not affected by this setting, only the display.
