Fieldpoint Read - Significant Figures

I would like to know if it is possible to adjust the number of significant figures when reading an analog channel from compact fieldpoint.  ie.  channel reads  0.003973554654  I want to read only 0.00397

Where do you send this data value to?  If you send it to an indicator, then you can set the properties of the indicator to however many significant figures you want.

I'm performing some computations on the value, then logging it to a text file.

Use the format into String function from the String pallette.
 
For the format specifier use   %_3f  where the 3 represents 3 significant digits.
