Number constants use a standard floating point format and support scientific notation (for example, 5e-6).

They also recognize the following Systčme International prefixes:

Prefix Multiplier Meaning
f, F 1e-15 femto
p 1e-12 pico
n, N 1e-9 nano
u, U, µ 1e-6 micro
m 1e-3 milli
k, K 1e+3 Kilo
meg, MEG, M 1e+6 Mega
g, G 1e+9 Giga
t or T 1e+12 tera
P 1e+15 peta

You can enter any number in scientific notation (with or without an exponent), followed by an optional unit letter.

You can also use the unit letter as a subsitute for the decimal point in a number, so 1M3 = 1.3M, for example. Do not use an exponent in this case.

Letters with multiple acceptable capitalizations are auto-corrected to match the standard for that unit. For example, if you type 1.3g, it is converted to 1.3G.

Exception: “k” is normally lower case. However, if it is used in place of a decimal point as in the example “1k3”, it is converted to upper case, as in “1K3”.

Any letters after the suffix are ignored. For example, “1.4kohms” = “1.4k” and “1.3me” = “1.3m”.

Acceptable values include:

  • 1.3
  • 1.3k
  • 1k3
  • 1.3kohms
  • 1.3e4
  • 1.3e-4
  • 1.3e-4meg
