What is the best way to display a detailed status ?

[Warichet]

Hi,

What would be the best way to segregate bits in a status byte, in order to display a detailed status in the Visu ?

I first started with "dynamic text", but I end up with too many combinations, hence too many definitions, and there is always an unforseen case that comes along.
i.e. 32 for bit 5, 64 for bit 6 plus all the least significant bits

I thought using 8 "AND" to isolate individual bits and display accordingly.
One benefit: no unforseen values can pop-up.
But this would require 8 variables per status byte.

Maybe another method ?
Any recommendation ? or "good practice" hint ?

Thank you.

Easiest way:

- use a 1byte to 8-bit converter
- there is logic module from bytefactory, called "conditional text"
- use it twice
- define text tags for every bit (0-3) and 4 to 7
- you will get one 14byte text for 0 to 3
- and one for 4 to 7

If you connect the two modules ("Ergebnis" to "Vorheriger Text"), you will have in the end one dynamic text.

Hi Matthias,

Thank you for the quick reply

I didn't say it, but I want to have the several status text, one above the other (instead of one long sentence), close to the icon. But I guess I can do it with the suggested module.
