FormatString

Determines how the floating point value will be represented in the converted string The options are (m = mantissa; d = decimal; x = exponent):

Code Description
%f Decimal notation in the form of ±mmm.dddddd; precision is 6 places to the right of the decimal.
%e (or %E)  Decimal notation in the form of ±m.dddddd e±xx; precision is 6 places to the right of the decimal.
%g (or %G) Mantissa and decimal are variable; trailing 0s and decimals are omitted if the input has a precision less than specified by the format string.
%Y.Zf Decimal notation in the form of ±m.d; field width is defined by Y and includes the sign and decimal place. Precision is defined by Z.
%0Y.0Zf Decimal notation in the form of ±m.d; field width is defined by Y and includes the sign and decimal place. The mantissa will be padded by leading 0s if necessary. Precision is defined by Z. The decimal will be padded with trailing 0s.
%Ye (or %YE) Decimal notation in the form of ±m.d e±xx; field width is defined by Y and includes the sign and decimal place.
%Yg (or %YG) Mantissa and decimal are variable; field width is defined by Y and includes the sign and decimal place.

Right-click the parameter to display a list of options. The format string must be enclosed in quotes.

NOTE: Other ASCII characters can be included in the FormatString (for example, FormatFloat(Variable,"The current reading is %2.3G").
