For the serial numbers the format description is similar to that used in the C-language:
%[flags] [width] [.precision] [optional parameter] type
flags: 0 shows leading zeros
width: Defines the total width of the number including the decimal point. This has only an effect if leading zeros is defined and the width is defined bigger than the width of serial number plus decimal point plus precision, so that leading zeros appear.
precision: Digits after the decimal point.
optional parameter: L or l. L will restrict the serial number to show only 'width' digits and will show leading zeros. l will do the same but will not show leading zeros.
type: f double values
