Enter a floating-point value using the display
Certain configuration values (for example, Lower Range Value and Upper Range Value) are
entered as floating-point values. The display supports both decimal notation and
exponential notation for floating-point values.
The display allows you to enter a maximum of 8 characters, including the sign. The decimal
point is not counted as a character. Exponential notation is used to enter values that
require more than 8 characters.
Enter a floating-point value using decimal notation
Decimal notation allows you to enter values between –9999999 and 99999999. You can
use the decimal point to enter values with a precision of 0 through 4 (4 characters to the
right of the decimal point).
Decimal values entered via the display must meet the following requirements:
