Engineering Format

 

Engineering format is an output display option.  This option is very similar to the Exponential format in which a value is displayed as a number followed by E and the integer exponent value, e.g., 1.234E06.  In Engineering format, the exponent value will always be an integer multiple of 3, i.e., E0, E3, E6, etc.  The second character indicates the number of significant figures.  It can be an integer between 0 and 9 or the letter 'M' indicating the maximum number of significant figures.
