# X Axis Number Formatting Tool

| This formatting tool allows you to choose how you wish to display the numbers plotted on the time (X) axis.

## Formatting

There are several general ways to plot numbers. In the QCM200 software, the default is set to relative time. This means the time data (in seconds) is automatically converted to hours, minutes and seconds.
You can also plot the time as simple seconds by choosing to format the data in scientific or decimal notation.
Do NOT use the absolute time format; it is meaningless for this application.

## Precision

You can choose how many significant figures to display by selecting a number from the pop-up menu for precision.
