REAL to ASCII

[f117]

hmmmmmm.....i am facing an other problem now......can you tell me in FC30 how can i put a number bigger than 9.99999 in IN......... i want to put to IN number up to 100....... ex. 15.6 92.5 100.0 ....... but when i do this from 15.6 that i write it takes it 1.56

If you type 15.6, the editor will convert this to 1.56e+001 when displaying the block. They are one and the same value.

You need to ensure that the exponential number matches what you want. You will always see the number in x.xxx format, the exponential shows the magnitude.


Some examples


1.0000+00 = 1.0
1.0000+01 = 10.0
1.0000+02 = 100.0
1.0000+03 = 1000.0

etc...

that works fine......... my new problem is that the ret_val appears also with x.xxx format but that does not help me because i want to display the ret_val to an ASCII led board and iwant to be the format of x.xx xx.xx xxx.xx :S any ideas? thanks again for helping me

You need to specify the functionality you require (ideally in the initial post) instead of revealing more of the functionality over a series of posts.

i see...ok...i want to display on a led ascii screen the efficiensy of a product line... and i want to display it like 100% , 96.55% ,3.52% . the RET_VAL is the value that has to appear on my led screen

How many characters are in the string you require ? what about leading zeros ?

e.g.
A real value of 0.0 Returns
Char[1]='0'
Char[2]='0'
Char[3]='0'
Char[4]='.'
Char[5]='0'
Char[6]='0'

or

0.0 Returns
Char[1]=' '
Char[2]=' '
Char[3]='0'
Char[4]='.'
Char[5]='0'
Char[6]='0'
