No reason to yell at me Gerd, I was just too slow with posting I was answering your first post while you made your second one so I didn't read it until after I posted.
I'd love to account for the precision by using integer values, but for some reason they cannot have units, which made me choose floating point to begin with.

Numbers with units are internally stored in the SI base unit equivalent. integer Centimeters or pSec for example make absolutely no sence as Meters and seconds. Units are too fragile for anything other than floating point representations.

I too got excited when I first learned about units. "Oh how fantastic, something I don't need to worry about that LabVIEW can do for me." But in reality I kept hitting road blocks where some functions were supported, or changing display options had issues. In the end I dealt with changing units seldom enough that I just stick to an SI, or write my own code to convert. I hope they work out for your uses.
