Hi,

I receive a string from a device containing the current draw as a 6

character number. ie. for 2.45 A, the string would be 000245. Using the

format converter %6f in the proto file, I am able to read the value into

a ai record as 245. However when I try to convert the input string using

%=6.2f, I always read in 0 as the current.

Am I understanding the = operator properly? How can I convert the string

000245 input into 2.45 in the ai record?

Thank you in advance,
