VMSpc Decimal Points

Just finished our first trip with our new VMSpc and I am still smiling.  I enthusiastically second all the good things everyone has said about the VMSpc.  I did discover one item (battery voltage) that I wanted one decimal worth of more detail and one item (turbo boost) that had a decimal point that I would have preferred was an even number. 

I suspect that others readily understood how to dictate the degree of accuracy but I could not find it referenced anywhere.  As I should have known, it is a very simple adjustment.  In the parameter editor, the lower left hand box is "format".  This box is usually filled in with something like "%.0f" or "%.1f".  I discovered that the zero represented no decimal point and the one dictates a single decimal point in the readout.  Simple once you figure it out.

Hello Richard

You can expand on that reading with '  %.3f '  3 decimal points. However, it may look like one can increase precision--but the accuracy of the reading is another matter. A fellow would need his DVM to track the same readings to verify changes. The selected media item is not currently available.
