FAQ Article ID dl_faq035QuestionI need to read a 4 byte (or: 8 byte) data sequence and convert it into a float value. How can I do this? (Or: I need to deal with 32 bit / 64 bit IEEE encoded float values. How to convert to and from such a data format?)
Applies to:
Docklight Scripting (all versions)
AnswerWe have now added IEEE single and double precision float conversion as an experimental feature to Docklight Scripting. Please see the software link below and the related sample script. The new DL.ConvertSequenceData method might still change until the next official release and it is not yet documented. But it has been tested by us and selected customers with good success. We would be happy about any related feedback here!
