Not the property tree... but ... ..."double" refers to 32 bit representation of a real number...and ..."single" refers to a 16 bit representation of a real number.
most numbers are defined as "integers" ie 16 bits of numerical information meaning a maximum value of 2^16 values can be represented. ie -32768 to 32768 long means that double precision integers can be represented ie -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,648 apply this to a real number that might have fractional as well as signed parts, ie double = 32 bit and single = 16 bit as well as positive and negative and you begin to understand the issues.... ... not that you have to, just rely on the notion that... if a field is defined as a "double" then 6 decimal places is OK, if it's defined as single then 2-3 decimal places are OK. this part is entirely subjective and might get flamed so hold off on making any life changing decisions based on this advice until you get a second opinion.
