Academically and professionally, I would say no. Every instrumental measurement contains inherent errors, and rounding off data simply increases the error. There may be some specific instances in which an instrument can give a precision that exceeds the application, but that is customarily dealt with by rounding off the final answer after all calculations have been made from the measurements.
