• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Holy smokes Darren! I just saw your post. I will have to look more closely at the screen where you choose the machine. Yours has a "decimals" choice right there! Maybe mine does too and I just missed it.

Let me look again.

Ps - your display looks VERY similar to mine!

Is the manual available on-line or can you post a copy? I can't control the number of displayed digits on mine either but the anti-vibration setting sure helps.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll email you what I have. It's what they gave me when I was shopping and asking questions. I can't seem to post it and not sure that would be wise anyway......

I just confirmed. Mine is a Ditron D80 - so same as yours.

Can't wait to try the digits command.

Also nice to know ours are the same. We can compare notes whenever needed.
 
Ok, I tested it @dfloen.

It WORKED!

Not only that, but I deliberately tested rounding up and down and it works as hoped too! It doesn't just truncate, it rounds!

THANK YOU DARREN!

I must say the colors & contrast & sharpness of the modern displays are nice compared to the CRT look of the oldies. Hopefully they provide years of trouble free service.

They are actually MUCH NICER than the photos show. Something about the way the screen display works messes with the camera. In reality they are very crisp with fantastic contrast. I cannot complain at all.
