Table 9.5 FormatSpec Object Properties
Property Description
AltFormatName This property contains an indexed list of
all formats that can be applied to the
type used by the network variable or
data point. For example, in a
FormatSpec object representing the
SNVT_temp_f#US format (i.e. degrees
Fahrenheit), this property would contain
“SNVT_temp_f#US”, "SNVT_temp_f#SI",
and "SNVT_temp_f#US_diff".
AltFormatNameCount This property indicates how many
alternate formats are contained in the
AltFormatName property.
Precision This represents the number of digits that
will be used when data is read and
displayed using the format specification
if the data being displayed is a floating-
point type. This property has a range of
0-17.
If the data type used by the configuration
property or format specification is a
single float type, this property defaults to
the value of the FloatPrecision
property of the FormatLocale your
application is using. If the data type used
by the configuration property or format
specification is a double float type, this
property defaults to the value of the
DoubleFloatPrecision property of the
FormatLocale your application is using.
Units This property returns a string describing
the units of values using this format.
UnitsMultiplier This property indicates the value by
which the scaled value of the data point
or monitor point should be multiplied
when it is unit-converted for display as a
formatted value (via the
FormattedValue property).
