ENUM type?

[toneill]

Good day. Hope you folks are doing well.

I have a question about dataref types. I am working on a cockpit for my Hotstart TBM 900 aircraft. I have the developers list of custom xpl_commands and datarefs. Occasionally they list the 'enum' data type.

In the AM API a search for 'enum' I see that it relates to some user defined properties.

Can someone enlighten me as to the use of this datatype.

Here is an example from Hotstart
description A/C mode switch position. 0 = OFF, 1 = MAN, 2 = AUTO
syntax tbm900/switches/ecs/ac_mode
type enum
writeable true

Thanks very much
Ted

Hi Red,

Enumerations are not a base type like INT, FLOAT, etc.
Enums are normally implemented as INT though, so subscribing to them as INT should do the trick.

Perfect. Thanks for the quick response Corjan.
