notation with two decimal places (for example, 3.14). You can use the
Format & Precision… option of a control or indicator pop-up menu to
change the precision or to display the numeric controls and indicators in
scientific or engineering notation. You can also use the
Format & Precision… option to denote time and date formats for
numerics.
