CIU 888 A - 1
APPENDIX A DATA HANDLING
A.1 Engineering units
System engineering units are required for proper rounding of the
internal engineering units. The system engineering units are selected
during the configuration of the CIU 888, and also in a later stadium
when the settings of the CIU 888 are configured (partly or fully) and the
CIU 888 is operational. The CIU 888 Web interface presents the
configuration settings in the selected system engineering units.
The CIU 888 supports the same set of engineering units as supported
by the Service Tool.
A.2 Data presentation
A.2.1 Decimal and thousand separators
A.2.1.1 Decimal separator
The CIU 888 displays its floating point numeric data with a decimal
separator which is either a dot (default) or a comma. Other characters
are not allowed. A number cannot start nor end with a decimal
separator. For example, ‘0.2’ is correct, but ‘.2’ is not correct.
NOTE: The decimal separator parameter is under the W&M seal.
A.2.1.2 Thousand separator
The CIU 888 displays its numeric data with a thousand separator which
is either a dot, a comma (default) or no separator (space). Other
characters are not allowed. The thousand separator is applied before
and after the decimal separator to group three digits. A number cannot
start nor end with a thousand separator.
NOTE: The thousand separator parameter falls under the W&M seal.
A.2.1.3 Configuring the decimal separator and thousand separator
The decimal separator and thousand separator are both initialized
during setup of the site configuration in Service Tool, and are taken from
the settings configured for the PC/laptop running Service Tool.
To configure the decimal separator and thousand separator:
