Serial data source set data point to numeric
-
Hi All,
I am using the serial data source to process a string of values from a sensor node. e.g. CL 221.035BV=([0-9]+.[0-9]+)\r
CL is the node type, 221.035 is its address, BV is the point type and the value is a numeral with decimal point preceded by a "=" and terminated with \r.
I am using the following regex for the data point CL 221.035BV=([0-9]+.[0-9]+)\rThe problem is I am unable to set the point type to anything but alphanumeric.
Do I need to modify my regex or is this a current limitation in the serial data source?Cheers,
Matt. -
When set to alphanumeric, what sorts of values is the point getting? When set to other types what happens? It appears right in the code: https://github.com/infiniteautomation/ma-modules-public/blob/master/Serial Data Source/src/com/infiniteautomation/serial/rt/SerialDataSourceRT.java
//Switch on the type switch(plVo.getDataTypeId()){ case DataTypes.ALPHANUMERIC: newValue = new PointValueTime(value,new Date().getTime()); break; case DataTypes.NUMERIC: newValue = new PointValueTime(Double.parseDouble(value),new Date().getTime()); break; case DataTypes.MULTISTATE: newValue = new PointValueTime(Integer.parseInt(value),new Date().getTime()); break; case DataTypes.BINARY: newValue = new PointValueTime(Boolean.parseBoolean(value),new Date().getTime()); break; default: throw new ShouldNeverHappenException("Uknown Data type for point"); }

Hi Philip.
I am getting decimal formatted alphanumeric strings (see attached).
The problem is I set the data point type to numeric and as soon as I click save it switches to alphanumeric. This is before any data is processed.Matt.

Hey Matt, sorry it took me so long to reply, I did a little camping this weekend...
Ah, I understand. It looks like this was the case in the point settings and for whatever reason I was reading that as a data source problem. I found the issue in the code and have corrected it I believe, and thanks for bringing this to our attention:

Thanks Phillip,
I hope camping was good. It's snow down to sea level here.
Brrrrr...
