Post From: How Price Display Format affects Range Per Bars?

I have to open new support request, as this thread Price Display Format and Range Bars lead to nothing after it was marked as user discussion for reasons unknown, as I expected.

To be clear, I need clarifications about what is written in SC documentation, so I'm expecting to hear from SC foremost, and not other users interpretations or baseless opinions.

In this section Chart Settings: Intraday Chart Bar Period >> Bar Period Type >> Range Per Bar - Standard (in ticks) (Chart >> Chart Settings menu) it's said:
It is necessary that the Price Display Format setting, also on the Chart Settings window, is set correctly for the Symbol when using Bar Period Type >> Range Per Bar.

What is the correct way to set this setting? What should be considered as correct and not? How to check if it is correct?

--------------------------

I have 2 charts of NZDCHF. All settings are the same, tick size 0.000050 and currency value per tick 0.00005, but they have different price display format.

Price display format = 0.0001: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1615225484810.png

As you can see, they differ quite a lot, different quantity of candles to begin with. So which one should I consider as correct chart?
