Rounding

The rounding settings allow the administrator to define the calculation process for the rounding of the compensating plate.

The X and Y values for the compensating plate are the length and width values. In order to obtain these sizes a calculation can be performed, refer to MDS Compensation Sizes Form for further information.

After the X or Y size of the compensating plate is calculated, it is rounded according to the specified parameters.

The Calculation Method drop-down list contains the following types of rounding calculation:

• Always Up - The resulting value from the calculation is always rounded upwards. For example, if the resulting X size is 33mm and the rounding X value is set to 10mm then it will be rounded up to 40mm.

• Always Down - The resulting value from the calculation is always rounded downwards. For example, if the resulting X size is 38mm and the rounding X value is set to 10mm then it will be rounded down to 30mm.

• To Closest Value - The resulting value from the calculation is rounded to the nearest number. For example, if the resulting X size is 38mm and the rounding X value is set to 10mm then it will be rounded up to 40mm.

The X-size value and Y-size value fields allow the administrator to define the nearest value to round to. For example, an X-size value of 10mm will round the result to the nearest 10mm.

To disable rounding, set the X and Y size values to 0mm.
