How to split a WORD in two bytes using calculation points or animation
Sometimes devices will store (or pack) different data in each byte of a WORD and the end user will want to split those two bytes to see them separated. A device may store the day and the month of a date on each byte of a WORD, for example.
In case the end user wants only to see the values on mimics, a simple animation expression into a text object may suffice. Let’s suppose the WORD is stored in a point called “OriginalValue”. To get the high byte to show in a "text" object on a mimic:
Then the low byte, in another text object:
In case the end user needs to keep the values in points, one easy way to accomplish it is to create Calculation Analog Points, using the same expressions. For example:
