binaryvalue(
binaryvalue(
DATA
)

The binaryvalue( function converts binary data (a byte, word, longword, or longlongword) into a number (see Binary Data).

Parameters

This function has one parameter:

data – is the binary value that you want to convert into a number. This value must be a byte, a word (2 bytes), a longword (4 bytes) or a longlongword (8 bytes).

Description

This function converts binary data (a byte, word, longword, or longlongword) into a number (see Binary Data).

    binaryvalue(word(987)) ☞ 987

Error Messages

binaryvalue( function data parameter must be a byte (8 bits), word (16 bits), longword (32 bits) or longlongword (64 bits). – This function does not work with arbitrary binary data, only data of the specified lengths.
