[SOLVED] XML Select Expression with KOHLSMAN SETTING

Hi all,

I'm having trouble to get a Select Expression working:

I have a macro Round2

<SimGauge.Macro id="Macro" Name="Round2">
    <MacroValue>d flr s0 - 100 * near 100 / l0 +</MacroValue>
</SimGauge.Macro>

What I want is check in a Select Expression if the Altimeter is set to Standard i.e. 29.92.

I tried different versions of this script, but can't get it to work:

<SimGauge.Expression id="Expression">
    <Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHg) @Round2 (29.92) ==</Script>
</SimGauge.Expression>

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Jacob.

I always put a space after the + and the == symbols, but I don't know if that's required.

Perhaps the standard atmosphere is not *exactly* equal to 29.92? Check if a test to see if it is *close* to 29.92 works instead.

The space after == symbol doesn't help.
I tried everything, also with the exact setting of 29.91765213 (and without the @Round2 macro), but nothing seems to work.
Simply entering

1 1 ==

works well, so it must be something stupid...

Try:

<Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHg) 29.92 ceil 30 ==</Script>

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately your solution doesn't work either.

What I try to resolve with the select statement is to show an image if the altimeter is set to Standard (29.92). See code below

<SimGauge.Element id="STA Button">
    <FloatPosition>120.000,31.000</FloatPosition>
    <SizeScale>0.600</SizeScale>
    <Select id="Select">
        <Expression id="Expression">
            <Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHg) 29.92 ceil 30 ==</Script>
        </Expression>
        <Case id="Case">
            <ExpressionResult>0.000</ExpressionResult>
            <Image id="STA_OFF.bmp" Name="STA_OFF.bmp">
                <Transparent>True</Transparent>
            </Image>
        </Case>
        <Case id="Case">
            <ExpressionResult>1.000</ExpressionResult>
            <Image id="STA_ON.bmp" Name="STA_ON.bmp">
                <Transparent>True</Transparent>
            </Image>
        </Case>
    </Select>
</SimGauge.Element>

Perhaps any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Kindly regards,
Jacob.

Oh, I understood what you wanted from the first post...

Try then one of the following:

<Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHg) 29.90 30 rng</Script>

The above should return TRUE if the setting is between 29.9 and 30.0...

<Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING MB, Millibars) int 1013 ==</Script>

The above should return TRUE if the setting is the integer of the current setting is 1013, which is of course standard pressure expressed in Hectopascals (Millibars).

Hi Bill,

Many thanks, the second works best

I made a new macro @Round4:

<SimGauge.Macro id="Round4" Name="Round4">
    <MacroValue>d flr s0 - 10000 * near 10000 / l0 +</MacroValue>
</SimGauge.Macro>

Then the next code works even more precise:

<SimGauge.Expression id="Expression">
    <Script>(A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHg) @Round4 29.91765213 @Round4 == </Script>
</SimGauge.Expression>

Thanks again for your tip!

Kindly regards,
Jacob.
