Table 4-1 Components of a SML Data Item (continued)
Component
Description
value
Value of a single item element. Values are shown in a notation that depends on the
item type. For example, ASCII values are shown as characters enclosed in quotes,
Unspecified Binary values are shown in hexadecimal.
An ellipsis (…) is used to indicate additional elements may occur, as for example
where substructures may repeat in a List structure.
As an example, a two-byte unsigned integer Data Item with an array of three values
21, 22, and 23 is represented as:
<U2 [3] 21 22 23>
Numeric values shown are considered decimal integers unless otherwise indicated.
Negative values are shown with a leading minus sign “–“. Hexadecimal values are
shown in C-Language convention, with a leading “0x”.
10 Decimal Ten
0x10 Hexadecimal 10
-10 Decimal Negative 10
Where a value is not fixed, the SECS variable name is used directly. For Example:
<A [6] SOFTREV>
