use of 16 bit macro node registers

[Guest DavisG]

Important note: for the 16 bit MACRO registers there is and will remain an 8 bit shift. So, if you want to send a command output value of 1 V to a acc59E output on MACRO node 10 register 1 you will send a:

 

Gate2[0].Macro[10][1] = 1 * $100 * output_scale_factor

 

or if you are reading an acc28e or acc59e analog input you will need:

 

analog_value = Gate2[0].Macro[2][1] /( $100 * input_scale_factor)

 

note that for the acc59E (12 bit) the scale factors are:

 

204 = 1 V (unipolar OR bipolar)

 

for the acc28e (16 bit) the scale factor is:

 

3276 = 1V (bipolar)

6554 = 1 V (unipolar)
