Number of decimal places

[maestro]

I need my hurco post to round off to 3 decimal places (.###) instead of 4 decimal places (.####).

What do I need to change in the post to accomplish this?

[BernieT]

Hi, I don't have experience with the Hurco post, but below is how I would change the mpfan.pst from 4 to 3 dec places. The 'Format statements' list show the numbers and what they stand for. The lines changed are noted by: <<<<<<.

Example - 11 was 2 and 14 was 3.

BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR POST FIRST!!

Hope this helps- BerTau

I had to add a bunch of 'underscores' to keep the lines from running together. Hope it's clear.
