How do I get the EXEXML sensor channels to automatically display floating point numbers with the decimals? So far I can get it to display them by overriding the automatic decimal places in each channel. Is there an easier way? My XML includes <float>1</float> the unit is TimeSeconds.

By default, integer values are used (which corresponds to a <float>0</float> value). In order to use float, include <float>1</float> in the EXE/Script (Advanced) (also called "EXEXML") sensor's channel values.
To actually view all decimal places in the PRTG web interface, go to the sensor's Channels tab and switch the setting for Decimal Places to All. As of PRTG version 8.2.1.1930, this is the default setting for float channels.
