Dave, The actual number is x.75 degrees but the program you're using (LH?) apparently truncates the display. TBoltmon doesn't have this problem. Regardless, there's much more to it than just which program you use.
I never finished this article, but it explains a few things about the TBolt 1620 temperature sensor that you will find interesting: http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/tbolt-1620/ Most of this has been well covered on the list in years past.
