Set the position of the decimal point in mode 17. The device can display measured values
with up to four decimal places.

A mask appears in the display showing the current position of the decimal point.
2. Select the desired display format.

3. Save with the [M] button.
Note
If you set the decimal point too far to the right, the resolution of the display may be too
low. The display may show e.g. "0" instead of "0.43".
If you set the decimal point too far to the left, it can overflow. The display will then show
the character sequence 9.9.9.9.9 and error code F_004 instead of the measured value.
