Japanese term or phrase: 表示部に合わせて
I'm looking for working that works here. This is from the manual for a device that measures the moisture percentage of cement, but I'm not exactly sure what is being said here. Please help. The complete phrase is: 補正値a・bは表示部に合わせて四捨五入してください。

thanks in advance for your help.

English translation:to fit the display
Explanation:
The display probably has a certain number of digits and you need to round the correction factors, instead of entering all the digits of the factors, so they fit the display window. The "display" here displays the number a user enters.
