a simple way to convert AEL evaluation symbols suffixes?

With aelSuffixNotation we can normally get the appropriate sufffixes. But can we choose the suffixes we prefer? Like 500n, but I prefer 0.5u. Is there a simple way to do so?

Thanks.

    Hi Fred,

    I don't believe the ael functions offer this, but the cdfFormatFloatString can convert a numerical string to use a specific suffix. For example:

    cdfFormatFloatString("500n" "u")

    produces "0.5u"

    Andrew.
