Purpose

Creates a signal conversion object in memory.

Format

Input

Conversion Name identifies the conversion object that handles the scaling of a measurement.
ECU ref in is the task reference that links to the selected ECU. This reference is originally returned from MC ECU Open.vi or MC ECU Create.vi.
Factor configures the scaling factor used to convert raw measurement data in the message to/from scaled floating-point units. The factor is the A in the linear scaling formula AX+B, where X is the raw data, and B is the scaling offset.
Offset configures the scaling offset used to convert raw data in the measurement message to/from scaled floating-point units. The scaling offset is the B in the linear scaling formula AX+B, where X is the raw data, and A is the scaling factor.
Error in is a cluster which describes error conditions occurring before the VI executes. If an error has already occurred, the VI returns the value of the error in cluster to error out.
status is TRUE if an error occurred. This VI is not executed when status is TRUE.
code is the error code number identifying an error. A value of 0 means success. A negative value means error: VI did not execute the intended operation. A positive value means warning: VI executed intended operation, but an informational warning is returned. For a description of the code, wire the error cluster to a LabVIEW error-handling VI, such as the Simple Error Handler.
source identifies the VI where the error occurred.
Unit configures the measurement channel unit string. You can use this value to display units (such as volts or RPM) along with the samples of the channel.

Output

ECU ref out is the task reference that links to the selected ECU.
Error out describes error conditions. If the Error in cluster indicated an error, the Error out cluster contains the same information. Otherwise, Error out describes the error status of this VI.
status is TRUE if an error occurred.
code is the error code number identifying an error. A value of 0 means success. A negative value means error: VI did not execute the intended operation. A positive value means warning: VI executed intended operation, but an informational warning is returned. For a description of the code, wire the error cluster to a LabVIEW error-handling VI, such as the Simple Error Handler.
source identifies the VI where the error occurred.

Description

Use MC Conversion Create.vi to create a conversion object in memory instead of referring to measurement properties defined in the A2L database.
