5.4. Byte Splitter
Summary: The Byte Splitter decomposes an input value into byte-sized chunks,
allowing for datatype conversion at either end.
Description: An integral or float type input is accepted into the Byte Splitter, the
user can select the specific input type. If an integral type is selected the component
will only use the value from the InInt port. If a float type is selected the component
will only use the value from the InFloat port. The unused value in either case will
be set to 0.
InInt and InFloat are constrained to being represented as uint64 and float64
respectively. Depending on the actual datatype being input into the component (e.g.
int64 linked to the uint64) the ‘result’ column value might be misrepresented.
Although this might cause some confusion the user should rest assured that
internally the component is aware of the actual representation of the input data (as
specified by the InputType selector).
