Limit the decimals

For some values of less than one my data sheets of often list an appalling number of digits for the measured value. Is there a way to limit the significant digits or the fractional part numbers shown on the card? The preference would be to two digits to the right of the decimal point. I have a VI that will do, but do not want to filter each reading.

Thank you

I know exactly what you're talking about, I had a lot of complaints about this operators wondering why a DMM measure out a few 10-digit precision.

TestStand 4.0, click on your stage of numerical limit.  Click the tab limits, and then select the arrow next to the number Format drop-down list.  Select custom, this opens the window of Digital Format.  In here, you can select various options for the display of the data.  See the attachment for a page where I put 2 digits of precision.

Thank you

  • Limit the number of characters in a text based on the first digit field

    Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

    I want to limit the amount of characters in the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is limited to a number format... no decimals, no comma).

    For example, if the number starts with a 3, I would limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could start with code and what is the best place to add (key combination or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!

    I wrote this code for you that does this. Use it as a typo of the custom field code:

    // Validate that only digits are entered
    if (event.change) {
        event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
    }
    
    // Validate string length if it starts with 3
    if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
        event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
        if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
    }
    

    You can duplicate the second part of it for additional terms, but keep in mind that this code won't let you even remove the first character in the field if the result is not valid.

    For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the beginning because that would result in a number not valid. You can delete all the other numbers, even if and when it is 10 digits or less, then you can remove the departure "2" as well.

  • How can I limit the number of attempts to print a web page

    I am trying to find a solution to a problem on our network.
    We run several kiosk machines that allow customers to print documents and web pages. However, we find that we are wasting a lot of ink because of the user frequently sending the same print job on the printer.
    Yesterday we had someone print more than 70 pages, because they just keep clicking on print.
    I tried looking for an add-on that would solve this but was not able to find one.
    My question is this, is there an internal setting that can be changed in firefox to limit the number of prints is trying to say once every 30 seconds, or even a way to make a dialog box turns on screen saying that the print request is currently dealing and does nor print before completing the task at hand.

    Sorry, there no setting in Firefox to avoid that from happening. Once the user sees the "native print dialog" box (which is seen when you Ctrl + P for print), the operating system and the printer drivers are here.

    I saw something similar to that on kiosk / PC rental stores Office of FedEx, which inform the user of the cost per page, the user wants to send to a printer, and when the user click again to the same pages again, he asked if you want to spend another $x.xx to print a second copy. Would not too different to simply cut the printing of multiple copies of the same document and warn the user of this action.

    My advice is to discuss it with anyone who put in place these kiosks to be with.

  • Same question "how to limit the story" old with FF 27.0.1

    Windows 7 Pro, FF 27.0.1, Adobe and Flash modules (and it's auxiliary)... just the basics. My box is a server as well as used for most ordinary tasks... mail, browsers, editors of documents, etc., is always 'on' and never 'idle '. It's the Add-ons that make these things why don't do anything on my box.

    It is, I know, is an old question, but outstanding, in my opinion. I revive this post:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/799503?FPA=1

    First of all, let me say that I consider that the best time of the Firefox browser. I love the essential philosophy of Mozilla and Firefox customization by the user and the control, while respecting their need to ensure security and stability.

    OK, the issue is evident in the title, how can I limit history with Firefox? More recently, I observed when the activation and the deactivation of JavaScript in the preferences options has been removed. I have read the reasons of Bugzilla and Firefox and it was not difficult for me to open a topic: config tab next to a label containing a page I was working so I could see how the page without JavaScript. Once you know how, it was only a little more difficult that using the preferences options... which doesn't bother me really.

    The history limit is implicit in the browser itself, where, if you open the history window, you can see your history and (for me) see an option 'longer than six months' who, if you mouse over and right click will get an option 'remove '. I think that everyone who tries this blocking their browser and if something is deleted when you finally get to the top, it will be your cache.

    I know that the amount of history is set: config in the "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages" as an integer parameter. Read many articles here in 'support' and personal judgment, I find that although the number can be increased, it cannot be decreased. If we do, it is up to the old definition as soon as Firefox is reopened.

    I read the blog referenced in the first link above: http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration and it even seems outdated, containing references to places.history.expiration.max_pages, which is not the file in topic: config in 27.0.1

    In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643254 , I read the debate on these changes where Marco Bonardo held firmly at his post while I find the comment of al_9x, discuss the issue with him. "You have removed features that people use and love, that been in Fx since its inception. It is you who need to justify deletion. "And your justification of" nobody really wants expire history "is a lie, people do and I explained why", to represent my feelings completely. I have no need or desire for the history of more than 3 months. It is tyrannical to limit the ability of Firefox users to limit their history. And no.... I have not create yet another account of Mozilla and 'vote '.

    There must be a way I and other users can limit (or increase) their history. So I ask "how?" This is, by design, to do this then I find a very disturbing trend, away from the philosophy of the user control and customization.

    If I'm missing something, please let know me. Please * don't * send me a bunch of standard items 'aid', because I read all. That is my question.

    Kind regards
    Axis

    You must create a new pref to around places.history.expiration.max_pages if you want to change the default behavior.

  • How can I limit the number of Web sites on the new tab page?

    Is there a setting where I can limit the number of thumbnails / Web sites that appear on the new tab page? When I opened a new tab - I don't want to see tons of sites I have visited - but also, I don't want to delete them all. For example - there is a setting where the new tab page displays the last ten sites I've visited - with all my pinned sites?

    There are two settings 'hidden' for this 'grid '.

    Browser.newtabpage.Columns

    and

    Browser.newtabpage.Rows

    Type of topic: config in the URL bar and press ENTER.

    So put . browser.newtabpage in the top search bar.

    Each of these preferences in the lower panel right-click and select Edit. Then change the value default of 3 for each of these preferences to what you prefer, for "pinned" both sites all browsing history you want to appear in the 'grid '.

  • How can I limit the number libraries which is to find Photos

    How can I limit the number libraries which is to find pictures?

    I have about 10 libraries I've migrated opening today.

    I followed the advice I got from leonie, (level 10) below.

    Photos will create a new library of Photos in your iPhoto library.  The new library will be named as the iPhoto, with the extension ".photoslibrary" library and your original library will have a new file name extension ".migratedphotolibrary".  Rename the resulting ".photolibrary", so you will always be able to open in Aperture. The icons of libraries will change also. New photo library will display an icon of 'fan photos' with the flower of the Rainbow.


    So, I have now two files in my folder "Images".   One is called "Photo library" (these are ALL of .photoslibrary) the other is 'BACKUP ONLY iPhoto libraries' (these are ALL of .photolibrary).

    When I hold down the option key and start the Photos is to find all the libraries of two files above. How can I say Photos don't not to look in the old folder "iPhoto library"?

    This isn't a feature of Photos

    Users cannot change or set the window size in their own browser from the URL bar any longer, they do so through the notebook in the Web Developer menu under the Firefox button.

  • Is there a way to limit the volume and not only for music?

    Hello

    I have a child who loves the max volume. However, it is not only bad for his ears, he pushes the rest of the family crazy.

    As much as I saw him, he has no control master volume where you can limit the volume - that it JUST for music, leaving the rest of us stranded.

    I tried mental health of volume app, but since it's an app, it can be disabled without a password and so my child understood how close. So that one does not work.

    Anyone know of another way to limit the amount of EVERYTHING?

    Hi Makkapakka777,

    I understand that you like to limit the volume on your iPad so that it cannot be increased beyond a certain point. Fortunately Restrictions allows you to set a volume limit that requires an access code to remove. The article below the link provides more information about the configuration and use of the Restrictions.

    Is it possible to limit the startup options for a user? I want to only non-it professionals to be able to boot from HD rather than USB/CD/diskette etc.

    I checked in the BIOS (1.20) and the Toshiba Control Panel utility but I only seem to be able to adjust the order rather than disabling devices.

    I noticed there is a newer version of the BIOS (2.30) - is there a list of changes for this anywhere?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help.

    Now you can not disable the start-up devices.
    As you suggest, you can change the boot order.
    But if you wish, you can set a password to prevent access to the BIOS.

  • How to limit the length of the texts on iOS9?

    Hello

    I just worked on why I am required by my mobile / cell phone provider EA.  They charge any text as a picture message / SMS, it is longer than 120 characters?  Does anyone know how to limit the length of the texts / SMS so that it is impossible to send a more 120 characters or create an alert so that you are aware of the number of characters in the text / sms?

    Thank you very much

    Hello Turnus123,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you will have to pay for SMS more than 120 characters.  To help identify messages exceeds this amount, you can activate a number of characters in the message settings.  Simply go to settings > Messages and activate "number of characters".

    Message settings

    Take care.
