How do I fill a container with a floating point value (decimal) in RoboLab 2.9?
To fill a container with a decimal value: • Drag a “Fill Container” block into your program. • Select the wiring tool, and right click on the “Set container to” node. A menu should appear. • Scroll down the menu and choose Create –> Constant. A blue wire and blue constant box with a “1” in it should appear. If you try to type in a decimal, it will be truncated to an integer. • To change this, right click within the blue constant box. A menu should appear. • Scroll down the menu to Representation. Another menu box should appear. • Select the DBL or Double Precision box. • The blue box and wire should become orange to indicate floating point status. You should now be able to type in a decimal without it being truncated.
