siunitx—how do I get exponents with uncertainties?
I am typesetting a lab report with indirectly-measured values of a diffraction grating's grating spacing; these values are on the orders of micrometres, which are more easily expressed in scientific notation; otherwise, I'd have too many leading zeroes.
However, when I type something like SI{1.80812E-6(0.0044)}{m}, I receive a compilation error:
Package siunitx Error: Invalid exponent in numerical input(siunitx) '1.80812E-6(0.0044)'. ...as found to be SI{1.80812E-6(0.0044)}{m}.
Apparently pdflatex thinks the uncertainty is for the exponent, as detailed in the log file:
The exponent part of a number cannot contain an uncertainty or complex part: the input given appears to contain one of these in the exponent.
How may I remedy this?
