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)
}
