Introduction
The following describes the data format and syntax used in pin freeze values. In general, the text entered as freeze value is parsed by the input pin's datatype.
Integer
Integer constants can be entered in one of the following formats:
- decimal (for example: "
1234" , "-1234) - with Smalltalk radix prefix: (for example: "
16rCAFE" , "16r-AA, "8r100, "2r101010000) any radix between 2 and 36 is allowed. - with C radix prefix: (for example: "
0xCAFE" , "-0xAA, "0b101010000) (0x for hex, 0o for octal, ob for binary). Notice that the C-octal notation (prefix 0) is not supported.
Float
- regular floats such as: "
123.0", "+123.0", "-123.0", ".123", "123.", "123.0e+2", "123.0e-2"
String
If the pin's datatype is String, then no leading/trailing quotes are needed
(actually: if there are quotes, these will be part of the string). However, quotes are needed if the type is not unambiguously a String type (i.e. Any or a Union type).
Bytes (ByteArray)
Byte data can be entered in multiple forms:
- Smalltalk format: "
#[ 1 2 3 ]" (spaces between byte values) - JSON format: "
[ 1, 2, 3 ]" (commas between byte values) - C format: "
{ 1, 2, 3 }" (braces and commas between byte values) - hex format: "
xxXXxxXX" (two hex characters per byte; no spaces in-between) - hex format: "
xx XX xx XX" (two hex characters per byte; with spaces in-between)
