LABWORKS importing Scientific Notation results

Issue: In LABWORKS 6.10.0.257, the “e” was ignored when importing a result with scientific notation and the result was rounded. For example, the raw result was 1.580820047202e but RESULT1 converts it to 1.58.

Solution: The problem relates to the string length rather than the scientific notation. There is a max string length of 14, so only the first 14 characters of 1.580820047202e are taken and then the result is rounded.
