Total Digits

Specifies the number of digits to be displayed for the value of the data item.

Fractional Digits

Specifies how to display the fractional part for the value of the data item. When the Display
Type is 32-bit Floating Point, this property specifies the number of fractional digits to be
displayed. When the Display Type is not 32-bit Floating Point, this property specifies not only
the number of fractional digits to be displayed but also the number of least significant digits to
be displayed as the fractional part. With this feature, an integer can be shown as a fixed point
number.

Scaling

Check this option if you want the value of the data item to be displayed in a scaled manner.
The following is the scaling formula:

DisplayedValue = SampledValue * Gain + Offset

Note: The Gain and Offset are 32-bit floating point numbers. They have at most 6 significant
digits. The rounding and truncation errors may happen.

Gain

Available when the Scaling option is checked. Specifies the Gain used in the scaling formula.

Offset

Available when the Scaling option is checked. Specifies the Offset used in the scaling
formula.
