If there is a way to do this, I don’t know what it is…

If not…

Can we have a property that allows us to format the values displayed when using x-trace in a chart?

i.e. When I have floating point tags being shown in the chart, it will display up to 4 decimal places for the pen value. When you have more than a few pens on a chart, this is just too much info. I’d like to be abls to specify a ##.# type of format for the values to be shown as.

Thanks
