Visible Condtion in Hex-Format possible?

Post by vom1rhi » Tue Nov 08, 2011 10:22 am

Hi Everybody

I'm receiving a CAN signal on a Free Form CAN Message.
This signal has certain hex-value
And I want for example a text, to be visible, every time this signal is active/send
So my question is: Does the visible condition work with a hex-value or does it have to be decimal?
And in case it has to be decimal, how would you change the hex to dec?
My unit for the incoming signal is raw and I am using a PV450 and PowerVision 2.3

Best regards

Hello vom1rhi

If I understand your question, you have a free form CAN message coming in and you want a text widget to be visible when you are receiving a certain hex value.

You can tie the free form CAN message to a variable. Let's say the message coming in is 0xAA. In the minimum and maximum value section of the visible condition, you would put the decimal value of the message, which in this case would be 170. The condition variable would be set to the variable you tied the message to.
