GetRoundingBase

Description

Gets the rounding base (1, 2.5, or 5) for the display, primary units, and secondary units.

PROCEDURE GetRoundingBase(
				VAR display   : INTEGER;
				VAR primary   : INTEGER;
				VAR secondary : INTEGER);

def vs.GetRoundingBase():
    return (display, primary, secondary)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
display	INTEGER	Rounding base for the display units
primary	INTEGER	Rounding base for the primary units
secondary	INTEGER	Rounding base for the secondary units
