Why does Control Expert skip odd addresses for real data types in structures, but in a simulator instance it does not?
The addresses for Real data types can only start on odd numbers and occupy 2 words.
If a structure is declared and an address is assigned to this, Control Expert should automatically assign the correct addresses for any real variables within the structure. Consider this example where the first Real is assigned address 1004 (skipping 1003).
However, if the mode is changed to the Simulator, then Control Expert incorrectly addresses the real variable. In this example %MW1003 is not skipped and has to be manually changed by the user for the project to build. This is normal behaviour of the Simulator as it is a 16 bit application.
