significant digits in ADE assembler output expressions

an wx

hi all, I'm drawing spectrums in ADE Assembler when I encountered a problem. I want to calculate FFT with start/stop time at 1989.955ns/22469.955ns. In Calculator and in "Measurement"-"Spectrum" panel, I can enter the specific start/stop time and draw the spectrum as expected; however, as I send the expression to ADE, the stop time becomes 2.246996E-6, resulting in large spectrum leakage. If I set start and stop time to1989.950ns/22469.950ns so that no truncation occurs, the spectrum is normal. So it seems that the values are automatically rounded to 6 decimal places in ADE assembler output? How can I solve it?

    You can control the output precision either using Options->Output Formatting or per-output using this column:

    I'm slightly surprised though that if you have expressions used in other expressions as dependencies, then I wouldn't expect the truncation to have occurred (It's really just a display thing). Maybe it's become a fixed number at some point - it's not entirely clear what your setup looks like.
