So do that and the thinking is that .3 is half .6

Having probably made an idiot of myself I'll get back in my box now.
We made the same assumption. But what’s max EPR on that day? If it’s 1.6, I can understand that, but I’m my experience the EPR limit is usually something like the square root of pi.

I don’t think that assumption is correct though. Because then, they could just configure the display to ignore the leading “1”, then shift the decimal point 2 places to the right. Oh wait....never mind
