​
Function Syntax

long AfdxSetSignalString( long packet, char signalName[], char value[], long fdsStatus ); // form 1
long AfdxSetSignalString( long packet, long offset, char value[] ); // form 2

​
Description

This function sets the value of an AFDX string signal. The AFDX string structure consists of a 16-bit length code n and a sequence of n ASCII characters. The length code is updated too.

​
Parameters

  • packet: Handle of the message.
  • signalName: Name of the signal.
    • Note: The signal and its message need to be defined in the assigned DBC file.
  • offset: The offset value points to the starting byte of the AFDX string.
  • value: New ASCII string value.
  • fdsStatus:

Return Values

Example

long packet;
long msgID = 0x1A112B73;

// create a new AFDX packet as defined in the DBC with this msgID
packet = AfdxInitPacket( msgID, NULL, 0 );

// set integer signal 1 to 78 degrees, don’t change status byte
AfdxSetSignalInt( packet, "VFG_OIL_TEMP_A_34", 78 );

// set float-signal 2 to 52 degree, set corresponding status to <NO>
AfdxSetSignalReal( packet, "VFG_OIL_TEMP_AB_32", 52, 3 );

// set boolean signal 3 to 1, set corresponding status to <NO>
AfdxSetSignalBool( packet, "VFG_OIL_TEMP_A_ON", 1, 3 );

// set enumeration signal 4 to 5, don’t change status byte
AfdxSetSignalInt( packet, "FLIGHT_GROUND_COND_3", 5 );

// set string signal 6 to hello, don’t change status byte
AfdxSetSignalString( packet, "TEST_STRING14_CITY", "hello" );

// set opaque signal 7 to 0x31,0x32,0x33, don’t change status byte
AfdxSetSignalOpaque( packet, "TEST_OPAQUE14_IDENT", 3, "123" );

AfdxOutputPacket( packet );
