6.5 Precision
Menu Shortcut: Settings X Precision
Precision is the number of decimal places. For example a
precision of two would be represented as 3.14, and a
precision of three would be represented as 3.141.
Virtual Weather Station allows you to customize the
precision for each variable (unless otherwise noted on
specific display panels). These precision values are
represented in files, HTML tags and other various displays.
The precision can be changed for the values (which include
averages) and rates of change. Changing the precision for
the temperature will change all of the temperatures
(example, indoor and outdoor).
