Adjust the Displayed Decimals
The following procedures describe how to adjust the number of decimal places displayed in SpecView.
Note this procedure does not apply to EZ-ZONE controllers communicating with SpecView by Watlow 
EZ-ZONE Standard Bus because with that protocol the decimal places are automatically displayed 
according to the controller setting. 
To make the number of decimal places displayed in SpecView match the controller display:
1) Set the decimal
setting in the 
controller as desired. 
(See the table for 
details about each 
controller.
