Printing in engineering notation

swdesigner

In IC6 (maybe even in IC5) the ADE outputs are displayed in engineering notation with symbols - that is, 10e-6 is 10u, 10e-3 is 10m, etc.

This is convenient.

Is there any way to print numbers this way using printf or some other function in skill?

Note, I don't want to print 10e-3 as 10e-3, I want it to come out as 10m.

Thanks!

  • aelSuffixNotation() is probably what you're after. So for example:

    aelSuffixNotation(10e-3) => "10m"

    You could also use:

    cdfFormatFloatString("10e-3" "m") => "10m"

    assuming you've got the number in a string in the first place, and you know which suffix you want to use.
