Channel Read Bits

In version 6 you can try creating a format to display value in binary form. Format code would be B

[Mikhail]

Also hexadecimal format would be useful.

Hi Mikhail

I am using GetAnyBits below:

public double GetAnyBits(double val, int n, int mask = 1)
{
ulong ulVal = (ulong)val;
return (ulVal >> n) & (ulong)mask;
}

The issue is of format.
When I use Hexadecimal, vales are same as General with addition of 3 places of decimal which are zeros. I could not understand how to try the B Format as there is no option for B. I am using version 6.

Thanks

Oops, I didn’t know there was a binary display format 🙂

You need to add option B for the format and test it.

Something is not working to display the number in binary form. It shows !!! on the graph, in the table ---

Chart Pro falls on the string variable – a white screen 🙂

It was added in .NET8. I’ve never tried it before.

It cannot display graph of a string.

In the Formats table add a new format. I’m not sure that B will work, however, it worth to try.

Binary format will be supported in the next release.
