BTW - the help for camonitor shows this text:

-s: Get value as string (may honour server-side precision)

When won't server-side precision be honored/honoured?

The intention was: When the native type is not a float/double or the field is not VAL, the precision in the PREC field may not apply.
But in this case the server forces the precision to 0 or stupidly uses the precision for VAL, so it actually gets honoured.
Hm ... that bracket text should probably be changed.


What about "(server-side conversion)"?
Or just the minor fix "(honours server-side precision)"?

Thanks for pointing this out!
