Setting Fractional Modes
Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the fractional result is
reduced to its lowest common denominator
(i.e., 8/16 reduces to 1/2).
Fixed Mode
In Fixed Mode, fractional results remain in
the defined accuracy level (i.e., 1/2 will be
shown as 8/16). Entries of higher accuracy
values will temporarily override the fixed
fraction setting.
