I wish to display machine position measurements for setup people when changing between different products. This being the 'good ole USA', where the metric system is still seen as a Communist Plot, the measurements would be most understandable if displayed as, for example "3 1/8 inches". Unfortunately the standard displays don't lend themselves to doing this in any easy manner. If the measurements are displayed as, for example "3.125 inches", would this be too confusing to the average American worker? Or do you feel that the person setting up a machine should be able to understand this or they shouldn't even be touching the machine. Would some kind of "cheat sheet" screen be helpful? Possibly you've worked out a magic way to make this display easily? (I'm using EZTouch and occasionally Panelview displays.) I'm looking for any and all ideas.
