CP 523
"KG", "KG." and "KG,", data format
If you configure the "KG" or "KG." data format, 13 characters are printed out. In the case of "KG"
and "KG,", a comma is printed out and in the case of "KG." a decimal point.
"KGa.b" data format
You can set the following parameters:
• Specify the total number of characters to be printed with "a".
The sign and the decimal point each count as one character.
• Configure the number of places after the point with "b".
The variable value is not changed here, in contrast to the "KFa.b" data format.
• In the case of data format "KFa,b", a comma (between thousands) is printed out and, in the
case of "KFa.b", a decimal point.

Decimal Places
Errors occurring when configuring the "KGa,b" format have the following effects:
• If you specify values for "a" and "b" outside the value range, the spaceholder is treated as text
and printed as configured.
• If you configure "a" with a value too small for the variable values to be printed, "?" characters
will be printed instead of the variable value.
