XML - Stuck on ADF

[Guest]

I've been working on one of the last pieces for the Socata Panel Project, which is a KR 87 ADF.So far, I've been unsuccessful in figuring out how to accomplish two tasks.1) Adjust the fractional tuning - .0 to .52) Provide continuous tuning +/-There seems to be no XML K: events to enable this, but even more curiously, I've been unable to determine the C++ k_events either! Obviously, there must be *some* way to do both #1 and #2, since gauges exists which do it! But, I'll be darned if I can discover how... I did read a 'hint' in Dai's gauge tutorial which made reference to tuning actually being done by the RMI, but that wasn't enough 'help' to get through my mental fog...Can anyone help?

1) and 2): start from the present state of ADF frequency, add the increment (decrement) and use the _SET commands which are:ADF_SETADF_EXTENDED_SETADF_HIGHRANGE_SETADF_LOWRANGE_SETThe both first need rather complicated arguments (that means I have to look it up).The both last need "only a simple" argument in BCD without the highest digit (0x1234 sets with ADF_HIGHRANGE_SET ADF to 1123.4, whereas with ADF_LOWRANGE_SET 0123.4 results). I know I placed a decimal <-> BCD conversion here on the forum some time ago, please search by yourself.2): Several possibilities:-a combination of (>K:ADF) (>K:PLUS) or minus-(>ADF_1_INC) and .._DEC might work for the whole rangeArne Bartels

No, that's not quite right, since I can read Greek. OK, ancient Sumerian then... :)I went back and read (and printed out) the float to BCD conversion, but it hasn't sunk into that mass of jello that passes for my brain. :(I just don't know enough about the blasted syntax of XML to make this work.

Unless someone objects strenuously, I'm going to use this for #1 as well (fractional tuning)... :) (A:ADF1 Active Frequency, Kilohertz) 999.9 < if{ (L:ADFX1,number) (>K:ADF_LOWRANGE_SET) } els{ (L:ADFX1,number) (>K:ADF_HIGHRANGE_SET) }(A:ADF1 Active Frequency, Kilohertz) 1000 > if{ (L:ADFX2,number) (>K:ADF_HIGHRANGE_SET) } els{ (L:ADFX2,number) (>K:ADF_LOWRANGE_SET) }

I don't think your XML accounts for a value of 1000 exactly. You may need to modify your less than or greater than value to account for this possible value.Robb
