Data type
The data types available are shown in the table below.
The information of the data types for binector and connector inputs can be com-
posed of two specifications (discreated by a slash):
Depending on the data type of the BICO input parameter (signal sink) and BICO
output parameter (signal source) the following combinations are possible when
creating BICO interconnections:
Table 1-1 Available data types
Notation Meaning
Unsigned8 (U8) 8-bit unsigned
Unsigned16 (U16) 16-bit unsigned
Unsigned32 (U32) 32-bit unsigned
Integer16 (I16) 16-bit integer
Integer32 (I32) 32-bit integer
FloatingPoint32 (Float) 32-bit floating point number
 First specification: data type of the parameter
 Second specification: data type of the signal source preferably to be con-
nected (binector or connector output)
