Is it possible to use a breakpoint table in an ai record to convert the output
of another ai record (without loss of resolution)?
I have an ai record for which device support retrieves a floating point value
from hardware and puts it directly into the VAL field.
I would like to use a breakpoint table in a second ai record to convert the
reading of the first record - which (as I understand it) would require me to use
a "Raw Soft Channel". Will a "Raw Soft Channel" ai record, in reading a value
into RVAL, convert it to an integer (with a loss of resolution)?
Alternatives?
Thanks and regards,
