The Data Item format Integer displays a data items in numerical integer format. Various options can be set for the integer properties. The picture below shows the format dialog for integer:
Besides selecting the radix of the integer you can optionally display a hex prefix if you display the integer to the base 16 (hexadecimal).
The limit of digits sets the number of digits to display per item. If the item cannot be displayed within this limit the display will show as hash characters (######). The default value of the limit corresponds to the bit length of the item selected and the radix selected.
The formats Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal are left padded with zeros. Decimal and Signed Decimal formats are left padded with spaces.
The Data Item format Signed Decimal displays a data item in signed decimal format:
GSEOS does not assign data types to the data items specified in the block definition file. That is all values are raw bit patterns. In order to display an item as signed it will be interpreted as if the most significant bit indicates the sign bit.
