dtBin |
The number is rounded to the nearest integer and displayed as a binary string. The number of digits is defined by the property Precision. |
dtDateTime |
The numeric value is regarded as a date time value and is displayed using the formatting information contained in the property DTFormat (the
property Precision has no meaning
in this case) |
dtDeg |
The numeric value is regarded as a degree value and displayed as decimal degrees. The number of decimal places is controlled by the property Precision. An example of the resulting display can be found in the description of TDegreeFormat. |
dtDegMin |
The numeric value is regarded as a degree value and displayed as integer degrees and decimal arc minutes. The number of decimal places of the arc minutes is controlled by the property Precision. An example of the resulting display can be found in the description of TDegreeFormat. |
dtDegMinSec |
The numeric value is regarded as a degree value and displayed as integer degrees and arc minutes, and decimal arc seconds. The number of decimal places of the arc seconds is controlled by the property Precision. An example of the resulting display can be found in the description of TDegreeFormat. |
dtExp |
The number is displayed in exponential notation using Precision significant places. |
dtEEng |
The number is displayed using the unit prefix format commonly used in electrical engineering. The prefix is appended to the number (i.e. the number 18169 is displayed as 1.82k if the Precision is set to 3). The property Precision controls the number of significant digits. For details on the format, please consult the description of the function EEngStr (which is used to format the number). |
dtEEngNoDP |
Similar to the display type dtEEng with the difference that the decimal point is replaced by the prefix (i.e. the number 18169 is displayed as 1k82 if the Precision is set to 3). For details on the format, please consult the description of the function EEngStr (which is used to format the number). |
dtFixP |
A fixed number of decimal places is used (determined by the property Precision ). |
dtFloat |
The numeric value is displayed with Precision significant places. Any
excess zeroes behind the decimal point are removed. |
dtHex |
The number is rounded to the nearest integer and displayed as a hexadecimal string with Precision places. Please note that the valid
input range for a hexadecimal display is -231 to
+232-1, which is somewhat unusual. However, this setup ensures
that the hex display can display the full 32 bit range of both signed and
unsigned numbers. |
dtInt |
The number is rounded to the nearest integer and displayed as a decimal string. The property Precision has no meaning for this
selection. |
dtOct |
The number is rounded to the nearest integer and displayed as a octal string. The number of digits is defined by the property Precision. |
dtState |
The control does not display a numeric value but the text specified by the property StateText. This display type allows the user to display short texts (i.e. for indicating special conditions). |
dtZeroInt |
The number is rounded to the nearest integer and displayed as a decimal string with leading zeroes. The number of digits is defined by the property Precision. |
