Description nttkde 2021-03-19 15:58:51 UTC

Apparently, at the moment the data range spinbox implementation allows only integers but it would be nice if maximum and minimum values could be set as non-integer/floating-point numbers.

For example voltages have often very limited range but long decimal part. Eg. reading datasheet of my old CPU, its stock voltage range is 1.1625-1.3250 volts (in steps of 0.0125V). So it would make much sense to be able to set the range e.g. 1.0-1.4 or even tighter to use the chart space more efficiently (instead of from 1 to 2).

Seems valid, I think the way forward is to offer a suffix box so you type 1400 mV.

As we want suffix for some other UX tasks when choosing Gb and Mb

Allow using up to two decimals for range values

This allows inputting things like "0.25 TiB" which makes it simpler to
provide the right range.
