APPENDIX D.0 DATABASE
The database contains six datapoint types. Each datapoint type represents a specific data format:
whole integers, alphanumeric text strings, etc. The datapoint types are defined in Table D-1; the
paste-up configuration tables are repeated in abbreviated form (no definitions) in Tables D-2
through D-13; and the database is listed in alphanumeric order in Tables D-14 through D-19.
Middle gray tone shading in any cell means it is not applicable.
Light gray tone shading in the default cell of a datapoint description indicates the
datapoint contents are left unchanged after default.
Black shading in the default cell of a datapoint description indicates the field con-
tents are unpredictable after default.
Table D-1. Datapoint Types
Type Qty Range Byte
Size
Format
L 2048 L000 - L2047 1 Bit
Represents a single binary bit that can have the value
of 0 or 1.
B 768 B000 - B767 1 Represents a positive integer with values from 0 to 255.
C 768 C000 - C767 3
Represents a real analog (floating point) value that has
a resolution of one part in 32,768 (15 bits) and a
dynamic range of
±
10
38
.
H 128 H000 - H127 5
Represents a high precision analog (floating point)
value that has a resolution of one part in 2 billion (31
bits) and a dynamic range of
±
10
38
.
A 320 A000 - A319 10 Represents a text string that can be 10 characters long.
F 640 F000 - F639 10
Represents a text string that can be 5 characters long.
The
F database is actually embedded within the A
database, as an A datapoint type equals two F
datapoint types.
REFERENCE TABLES
REFERENCE VERSIONS OF ALL OF THE DATAPOINT MODULE TABLES
ARE PROVIDED AS TABLES D-2 THROUGH D-13.
