Clock expression Mod
I am using the expression
rate = 5023.4;
clockStart = 0;function padZero(n){
if (n < 10) return "0" + n else return "" + n } clockTime = clockStart + rate*(time); but I would like for the decimal to be a constant "x" number of units how do I go about achieving this? Also is it possible to do the same with the front end and add zeros as buffer in the whole digits? for example frame two could be 000167.614 instead of 167.61428094714 -

Dan’s Universal Clock and Universal Counter are very versatile:

I agree that they are very versatile but, that is where I got the expression from in the first place. I am still trying to find help to make the units stay in the same place since i could not find the answer in these links.
Again I want to find a way to make my units stay in the same place so that if I am using 5 units the number 25 would be written 00025
Understanding how to add units on both ends of the decimal would be helpful.
If the answer is in these links can someone hold my hand and walk me though this. I am still very confused.
thanks again

Try this:
numDigits = 6;
numDecimals = 3;rate = 5023.4;
clockStart = 0;function padZeros(theNumber,numDigits){
s = theNumber;
while (s.length < numDigits) s = "0" + s; return s } clockTime = clockStart + rate*(time); clockTime = clockTime.toFixed(numDecimals); splitTime = clockTime.split("."); if (numDecimals > 0){
padZeros(splitTime[0],numDigits) + “.” + splitTime[1]
}else{
padZeros(splitTime[0],numDigits)
