TestStand Numeric Format

I have two questions regarding numeric format and precision in TS.

 

1) I have the format, in report options, set to %.13g. When I return a 0 into TS, TS displays "0" in the report. Is there a way to set this "0" to "0.000..." ?

 

2) Also, if a function returns a value like .020 seconds. Is there a way to display this in the report as "20" and then I can set the units to "ms"?

1) The format you want is "%#0.13g"

 

2) It doesn't look like TestStand supports SI notation.  That would be really cool if it did though.

So, for your (1) recommendation...would this effect the precision for other actual values display if I change it to "%#0.13g" ?

I'm not sure what you are asking here.  When you set a format for changing to a string or a display, it is only good for that one setting.  The "#0" just says to fill with 0s.
