How to write uncertainties with the \pm symbol "10 ± 1 K" by using siunitx?
You want the separate-uncertainty
switch, p.30 of the documentation.
\usepackage[separate-uncertainty=true]{siunitx}
sets this format for every number, or
\SI[separate-uncertainty=true]{whatever}
just for one.
I've just come across the same problem and this is how I solved it to my satisfaction:
in the preamble:
\usepackage[separate-uncertainty = true,multi-part-units=single]{siunitx}
in the text:
(\SI{284(10)}{\ampere})
Produces the following output: 284 ± 10 A
If multi-part-units=single option isn't given, the result will look like: ((284 ± 10) A) which, in my opinion, is less than optimal.
