Binary Format Specification Fields
A format specification has the following form:
[spec1],[spec2],...,[specn]
Each specification is associated to an output port that is created soon after the specification string is read and the block panel is closed.
Each specification is structured as follows:
[n][Type][bytes]
where:
 | n is the width of the relative port, i.e. the number of consecutive data to read from serial port | ||||||||
| Type: is one of the following: d, i, u, b, where:
| ||||||||
| bytes: indicate the number of bytes that compose the incoming data |
Example:
| 2i1,3u4,1d8 means: 3 ports, with respectively 2 signed bytes, 3 unsigned integers, 1 double |
| 6i2,u2,d4,d8 means: 4 ports, with respectively 6 signed words, 1 single float, 1 double float |
