Property: BlockWidth for BinaryBlock

Property: BlockWidth for BinaryBlock

Specifies the number of bytes between two consecutive values of a block channel.

If the value is -1, the interval between the values is automatically calculated in relation to the channels in this block.

Object.BlockWidth

The following example reads a BinaryBlock from a file that contains four 32-bit integer channels. The block width is 16 which means that the example only uses the values of the first channel and skips the other channel values:

Dim oBlock : Set oBlock = File.GetBinaryBlock()
Dim oChannel1 : Set oChannel1 = oBlock.Channels.Add("Channel1", eI32)
oBlock.BlockWidth = 16
Dim oChannelGroup : Set oChannelGroup = Root.ChannelGroups.Add("MyChannelGroup")
Call oChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(oChannel1)
