Purpose of Prefix and Suffix in Logical Data Member?

[Zog626]

Hi,

What is the purpose of the prefix and suffix fieldin a logical member?

For instance, I have the word "Off" entered in the On field and the word "On" entered in the Off field.

The  "Invert Logical Signal" is unchecked.  So is this the same as having the "Invert Logical Signal" checked if you enter the words Off and On as above?

Thx.

Hi Zog626;

The prefix and suffix tags perform NO functions on the data member. You could put in the words, "Yippy" and "Skippy" and nothing will happen.

Personally I use them to help remind me what the engineering units is for that particular vartiable. For example, I will put in GPM if it is Gallons Per Minute,

or °F if it is a farenheit temperature.
