Is there any method to display nata on a numeric display without using scientific notation? I.E. - 'Force ' the display to read 202.102 " rather than 2.021E-09 "

    Bone315, I'm guessing you inserted an expression on a LookoutDirect control panel. The display is probably set at the "General " numeric format. If you right-click on the display, and select "Numeric Format... ", you can change the way the number is displayed. (You could also select "Display Properties... " to modify the format.) The "Change Format " box allows you to select the option to show up to 8 decimal points, "0.00000000 ". If you have more than 8 decimal points, you have to use scientific notation. Hope this helps.
