Detailed Description

Sequence of Bytes with arbitrary length.

An OTX ByteField is an arbitrary length sequence of bytes. Each byte is an unsigned eight bit value with a value space ranging from 0x00 to 0xFF (0 to 255). The bytes in a ByteField of byte size n are ordered from left to right, where the leftmost byte have a byte index of 0 and the rightmost byte have a byte index of n-1. The bits in each byte of the ByteField are ordered from the least significant bit (LSB) to the most significant bit (MSB).

OTX ByteField values can be used to store raw data in memory representation which is used in the ECU. There is no assumption made for any interpretation of that raw data. A ByteField can therefore describe any kind of data, from simple integer data up to encoded text etc.

Note

If a ByteField declaration is not explicitly initialized, an empty ByteField is created and assigned to the ByteField.

Conversion Terms

Conversion	Result	Sample
ToBoolean	Returns false if empty, otherwise true	Boolean b = ToBoolean(&0123); // Returns true
ToInteger	Returns the Integer value of the ByteField	Integer i = ToInteger(&7B); // Returns 123
ToFloat	Returns the Float value of the ByteField (interpretation according to [IEEE 754:2008])	Float f = ToFloat(&405EDD2F1A9FBE77); // Returns 123.456
ToString	Returns the UTF-8 interpretation of the ByteField	String s = ToString(&313233); // Returns "123"
ToByteField	Returns the copy of the value	ByteField bf = ToByteField(&0123); // Returns &0123

Syntax Declaration

ByteField Declaration [= ByteFieldLiteral];

Literal

Ampersand followed by hexadecimal characters. The number of characters must be divisible by 2 without a remainder. An empty ByteField is specified as &NULL.

&XXXX

Sample

ByteField ByteFieldVariable1 = &NULL;     // Empty ByteField
ByteField ByteFieldVariable1 = &00FF;     // ByteField with 2 bytes
ByteField ByteFieldVariable1 = &1fab3e50; // ByteField with 4 bytes

Initialisation of a ByteField declaration

This optional element stands for the initialisation of the ByteField at declaration time. If a ByteField declaration is not initialized, an empty ByteField will be assigned.
