TestStand Hex Limits

[Brandon K]

I am wondering if there is a way to extend the hex limits, currently I am using v4.0 and it does not allow numbers over 8 bytes (0xFFFFFFFF = 4294967295).

Ex:

0x0000000000    --    Accepted

0x0000000008    --    Accepted

0x0000000080    --    Accepted

0x0000000800    --    Accepted

0x0000008000    --    Accepted

0x0000080000    --    Accepted

0x0000800000    --    Accepted

0x0008000000    --    Accepted

0x0080000000    --    Accepted

0x0800000000    --    Not Accepted (gives 0x00FFFFFFFF)

0x8000000000    --    Not Accepted (gives 0x00FFFFFFFF)

I am trying to send CAN messages that have larger HEX values.

You need to use an array or a string if you need more space (bytes). 

The number size is derived from a PC hardware limitation not software (64bit).
