You can set a format so that the precision and number of decimal places are fixed: SetVariable setvar0 format="%7.2f"
That command displays the numbers with two digits to the right of the decimal point. In addition, you can add a formatting escape sequence that is just like the ones in a textbox in a graph. You have to tell the SetVariable to pay attention to such formatting using the styledText keyword. This command makes a setvariable that always shows two digits to the right of the decimal point and right-justifies the text within the value box: SetVariable setvar0 styledText=1,format="\\JR%7.2f"
You can enter the necessary format in the Control Properties dialog; in the dialog, you don't have to escape the backslash. You would enter it as "\JR%7.2f".
