Hello,

I am trying to split a two byte value into separate bytes within a script. I *thought* I knew how, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I also cannot properly test it here so I am uncertain if this is the issue, and would like to eliminate it if possible.

For the low byte:

VAR = VAR & 0x00FF; //masks high byte

For the high byte:

VAR = (VAR & 0xFF00) / 0x100; //masks low byte then shift right by div 0x100

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Phil

Phil,

I just ran a test on a unit, the following script correctly split the high and low bytes out. The smRead and smWrite were so I could manipulate the data and see the results.

void $SplitBytes$ ()
{
uint InitialByte;
uint highByte;
uint lowByte;

smRead(VariableIDs.InitialByte, InitialByte);

lowByte = InitialByte & 0xFF;

highByte = (InitialByte & 0xFF00)>>8;

smWrite(VariableIDs.HighByte, highByte);
smWrite(VariableIDs.LowByte, lowByte);
}
