3.3.9.15 Field Parameter: log10
A log10 display can occur for numeric fields. This displays received values by taking the Log10. Values entered
are translated using the inverse of the Log10 or ten to the power of the entered value. Log10 numeric fields are
limited to a value greater than zero.
The format is:
Num, uint16, Log10=true
Internally these are processed as scaled values. If scale and offset parameters are also specified they are
applied prior to the Log10.
3.3.9.16 Field Parameter: logScale
This parameter allows the result of a log10 to be scaled. The format is.
Num, uint16, Log10=true, LogScale=10
3.3.9.17 Field Parameter: maxsize
The maxsize parameter is used to indicate the maximum number of entities represented by a field type. The
entity types are field-type dependent.
Numeric Field maxsize represent the maximum number of array elements
Record Array Fields maxsize represents the maximum number of records
The maxsize parameter can take two forms:
1. A number from 1 to N
2. SizeOfEnum: <name of enumeration>.
This form allows the maxsize to be set to the number of elements in the enumeration.
Examples:
Fixed length array field whose size is the number of entries in the enumerated list "AnEnum".
Data, array, type=uint8, maxsize=SizeOfEnum:AnEnum
Fixed length record array field with a maximum size of 25.
Data, record, type=ARecordDef, maxsize=25
3.3.9.18 Field Parameter: min and max
The minimum and maximum field parameters are used to define the limits of the numeric field values that can
be entered by a user. They have no effect on the values that can be received.
Examples:
Id, uint16 min=2, max=10
Id, int16 min=-5, max=5
If a minimum or maximum parameter is not defined, the defaults shown in Table 3 apply.
