Appendix D. Endianness
Synonyms:
•
"Byte order" and "endianness"
•
"Little endian" and "least-significant byte first"
•
"Big endian" and "most-significant byte first"
Endianness lies at the root of an instrument processor. It is determined by the
processor manufacturer. A good discussion of endianness can be found at
Wikipedia.com. Issues surrounding endianness in an instrument such as the
CR3000 datalogger are usually hidden by the operating system. However, the
following CR3000 functions bring endianness to the surface and may require
some programming to accommodate differences:
•
Serial input / output programming (Serial I/O: Capturing Serial Data
(p.
303)
)
•
Modbus programming (Modbus
(p. 476)
)
•
MoveBytes() instruction (see CRBasic Editor Help)
•
SDMGeneric() instruction (see CRBasic Editor Help)
•
Some PakBus instructions, like GetDataRecord (see CRBasic Editor
Help)
For example, when the CR1000 datalogger receives data from a CR9000
datalogger, the byte order of a four byte IEEE4 or integer data value has to be
reversed before the value shows properly in the CR1000.
