Setvariable Procedure to Allow Use of Wavemetrics %w Formatting

// Code for using SI units and handling Wavemetrics' %w formatting code in setvarariable controls
// The key point is use of a second variable to hold the absolute value of the previous value so we know order of magnitude
// and can adjust for it when user types in a new value. The second copy of the variable is assumed to be named the same
// as the main setvariable variable plus "SIS" and to be in the same datafolder.
// The name of an additional function to run, if required, is stored in user data.
 
 
//to make a sample test panel - make sure packages folder exists first:
    variable/G root:packages:MicrometerVal=0.15, root:packages:MicrometerValSIS =0.15
