Add Feature to Allow User to Specify "Significant Number" and/or "Decimal Places" Reporting of Parameters #272

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The output shows basically raw data, which are often reported to absolutely 
ridiculous number of places / decimal places.

For the most part, the numbers reported for temperatures, voltages, fan RPMs, 
etc aren't accurate to more than 2 or 3 numbers, never mind 3 decimal places.

For example, reporting a temperature to XX.X decimals is ridiculous when the 
temperature reporting accuracy is +/- 5 degree C (that's NOT 0.5C...it's 5C)and 
significant latencies are also involved.

Similarly for voltages that report to XX.XXX decimals when at BEST the actual 
measurement accuracy is +/- 0.1V on many motherboards.

Same thing for fan RPMs that are reported to an instantaneous XXXX RPM when the 
meaningful accuracy is +/- 100 RPM. So instead of "busying up" the screen with 
changing numbers everytime the RPM changes by 1 or even 10 RPM, let the user 
specify he's only interested when the RPM changes by 100 or more...e.g. CPU 
Fan= XX00 or X00 RPM

Let the user specify how many numbers he considers valid (or worth reporting) 
for a given parameter.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.2beta
WinXP (32 and 64bit)
