Section 19: Remote Commands

format

The format attributes are used to configure the output formats used by the 

print

, 

printnumber

, 

and 

printbuffer

 functions. These attributes are used to set the data format (ASCII or binary), 

ASCII precision (number of digits) and binary byte order (normal or swapped). 

format.asciiprecision

 

Attribute

The precision (number of digits) for all numbers printed with the ASCII format.

Default

6

TSP-Link 
accessibility

This attribute cannot be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.

Usage

precision = format.asciiprecision   -- Reads precision.

format.asciiprecision = precision   -- Writes precision.

precision

Set from 1 to 16.

Remarks

• This attribute selects the precision (number of digits) for data printed with the 

print

, 

printnumber

 and 

printbuffer

 functions. The precision attribute is only used with the ASCII 

format. The precision must be a number between 1 and 16.

• Note that the precision is the number of significant digits printed. There will always be one digit to 

the left of the decimal point. Be sure to include this digit when setting the precision.

• The default (

reset

) precision is 6.

Also see

format.byteorder

, 

format.data

, 

printbuffer

, 

printnumber

Example

Sets the ASCII precision to 7 digits and prints a number: 

format.asciiprecision = 7

print(2.5)

Output: 

2.0

0

format.byteorder

 

Attribute

The binary byte order for data printed using the 

printnumber

 and 

printbuffer

 functions.

Default

format.SWAPPED

TSP-Link 
accessibility

This attribute cannot be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.

Usage

order = format.byteorder

-- Reads byte order.

format.byteorder = order

-- Writes byte order.

Set 

order

 to one of the following values:

0

 or 

format.NORMAL

Most significant byte first.

0

 or 

format.BIGENDIAN

Most significant byte first.

0

 or 

format.NETWORK

Most significant byte first.

1

 or 

format.SWAPPED

Least significant byte first.

1

 or 

format.LITTLEENDIAN

Least significant byte first.

Remarks

• This attribute selects the byte order that data is written when printing data values with the 

printnumber

 and the 

printbuffer

 functions. The byte order attribute is only used with the 

SREAL, REAL, REAL32, and REAL64 data formats.

•

NORMAL, BIGENDIAN,

 and 

NETWORK

 select the same byte order. 

SWAPPED

 and 

LITTLEENDIAN

 select the same byte order. They are alternative identifiers. Selecting which to 

use is a matter of preference.

• Select the 

SWAPPED

 or 

LITTLEENDIAN

 byte order when sending data to an IBM PC compatible 

computer.

Also see

format.asciiprecision

, 

format.data

, 

printbuffer

, 

printnumber

Example

Selects the 

SWAPPED

 byte order:

format.byteorder = format.SWAPPED
