How to change decimal point in voltage reading

0
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 24, 2025

You cannot change the decimal point in voltage readings on the Hioki BT3564. Numerical values are returned without a decimal point in standard responses. For scientific notation, the format is fixed (e.g., ±*.*E+0), and formatting like decimal placement is handled automatically by the device.
