Each byte of the network variable

value (in big-endian format) appears

from "0" through "ff".
The value bytes are not separated by

the TAB character when this type is

used.

FloatPrecision

Summary

Determines the precision that will be used when displaying

single-float values.
This property is implemented when the data stored in the

FormattedValue property is formatted as an ASCII

representation of a single precision floating-point value. It

specifies the default number of digits that will be used to

display the value.
Note: The FormatSpec object of each data point contains a

Precision property. This sets the precision that will be used to

display data stored in that data point. The FloatPrecision

property will only be used for a data point if its Precision

property is not set.

Availability

Local, full, lightweight, and independent clients.
