If the default number of Decimal Places (DP) for the values in the converted log files (.CSV) needs to be changed then use Preferences from the File menu, and click the Logging tab:
NOTE: This forces the DP setting of ALL floating point numbers in the log file reports (CSV files), regardless of the individual parameter's DP as known to SpecView, and will apply to ALL log file reports generated. Therefore it should be used with caution. (To specify the DP for individual parameters see CVTSETTINGS.INI below).
It does not affect the underlying precision with which the data is logged - data is logged including its whole precision, so, in the event that a report has too few DP, it can be run again with a higher DP setting and no information will be lost.
The settings are as follows:
0 decimal places Produces Zero DP, e.g. 0.
1 decimal place Produces 1 DP, e.g. 0.1
2 decimal places Produces 2 DP, e.g. 0.12
3 decimal places Produces 3 DP, e.g. 0.123
4 decimal places Produces 4 DP, e.g. 0.1234
1 D.P. Sci Produces 1 DP Scientific Notation, e.g. +1.1E+000
2 D.P. Sci Produces 2 DP Scientific Notation, e.g. +1.12E+000
3 D.P. Sci Produces 3 DP Scientific Notation, e.g. +1.123E+000
4 D.P. Sci Produces 4 DP Scientific Notation, e.g. +1.1234E+000
To set the decimal places in Log Reports for specific values (if the default setting above is not appropriate for a value), then use CVTSETTINGS.INI
