Hello all,
I hope there are some PanelMate aficionados in here. I have a pretty simple question that Cutler-Hammer doesn't seem to be able to answer.
I am doing offsite development for an application for a project on the other side of the country and would like to know if I am in trouble using DINT with implied decimals?
I am carrying 3 decimal places in most of my registers and when you look at the Template configuration you have the ability to apply an expression to the read variable and assign decimal places to the actual readout template. I am tempted to assign the expression [400292#S32]/1000 and adjust the decimal to three places, but I am not sure if the PanelMate will truncate the DINT or not.
If anyone can help me here I would appreciate it. I would like to know ahead of time if I need to adjust these registers to REAL (I hope not) or if I am OK with using DINTs. I have a couple hundred registers that would have to be corrected.
Thanks ahead of time.
