# Numbers show as decimals

## Problem

Numbers on the trend chart show as decimals, even though you have selected Octal or Hexadecimal as the Chart Radix setting on the Display tab.

## Solution

On the Y-Axis tab, change the number of decimal places to zero. If the number of decimal places is set to anything other than zero, numbers cannot be accurately converted to octal or hexadecimal.

To provide accurate data, the trend shows the numbers as decimals.
