11. XML Interface
A user application can retrieve the sensor settings in XML format by using standard Ethernet HTTP requests. This
enables programs to read system settings such as the Counts per Force value. The Java
® demo application uses data
from these XML pages to correctly scale displayed data.
In the following tables, the data types of XML elements are as follows:
Table 11.1
—Types Used by XML Elements
Data Type Description
DINT Signed double integer (32 bit)
ENABL Boolean using Enabled to represent 1 and Disabled to represent 0
HEX n Hexadecimal number of n
bits, prefixed with
0x
INT Signed integer (16 bit)
REAL Floating-point number (32 bit)
SINT Signed short integer (8 bit)
STRING n String of n characters
UDINT Unsigned double integer (32 bit)
UINT Unsigned integer (16 bit)
USINT Unsigned short integer (8 bit)
The values of all data types are presented as an ASCII strings.
Arrays are represented if the suffix
[i] is attached to the data type, where i indicates the number of values in the
array. Array values in an XML element may be separated by a semicolon, comma, or space.

System and Configuration Information (netftapi2.xml)
The XML page netftapi2.xml retrieves the system setup and active configuration.
The reference column in Table 11.2 indicates which .htm page and .cgi function access this element. Refer
to the corresponding entry in Section 6—ATI Ethernet Axia Webpages Interface or Section 9—Common
Gateway Interface (CGI) for related information.
