Hi:

I understand.

> QSRV ..  Use  var("qsrvDisableFormat", "0") to enable display.format
OK, Timo, try that.

Is this a topic for the upcoming developer's meeting at BNL?

The idea behind sending the printf format is that the client doesn't need to do anything but call printf.
That doesn't work for clients which may want to use "precision from PV", but not the whole format.
   display.precision = number of digits
   display.type = decimal, exponential, engineering, hexadecimal, ..
would allow sending the format hints, but then allow each client to decide which of those hints it uses.

Thanks,
Kay
