Spiegel,
To display a numeric in a different notation, right click on the front panel indicator and select Format & Precision... To get "engineering" notation, where you have the metric prefix for your units, select SI Notation. To have your number display in floating point (.0000345, .023, etc), select floating point. This will also give you the option of how many digits to view. You can set this to display as many digits as you want, from just one digit past the decimal place up to as many as you need. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
