New to the GOT HMI and GT Designer3. I've spent a couple of days spinning my wheels on this and could use some help. I am trying to display a value between 1E-13 and 1E-3 in a Numerical Display control on a GOT1000. I'm using GT Designer3. The PLC is a Q03UDECPU. The values display properly in GX Developer in D40 and D41 when I show it in Real (single precision) and I can make the Digits 13 and the Decimal Points 10 or so and the number will display on the GOT1000. I just can't figure out how to format the Numerical Display for scientific notation. Do I have to do something fancy and separate the mantissa and exponent and show it in to different Numeric controls? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That was it worked perfectly. I can't tell you how many searches I did and manuals I read. I was certain it was going to be much more difficult as mentioned above. Thanks all. Great site.

THANKS! This demo.rar works wonderfully until the value is less than 1.00E-009 like 1.00E-010 then it stops with an error 4100. I can limit my displayed range from 1.00E - 9 to 1E-3 with out too much of a problem but am stumped as to why it STOPS. Stop error occurs on the line BIN D204 D304 when D204 becomes 10. I have tried to figure out what the problem is but I am lacking in experience, but learning fast. I have attached the demo2.zip with and edit to accept more decimal places. demo2.zip
