Description
Decodes a number from it's binary representation.This may be useful for binary protocols with serial ports or sockets.
Examples
Decodes a 32-bit floating point number:
MBS( "Math.DecodeNumber"; "Float"; 32; "79E9F642" )
Decode a 8-bit integer number:
MBS( "Math.DecodeNumber"; "Integer"; 8; "C8")
Decode a 64-bit unsigned integer:
MBS( "Math.DecodeNumber"; "UnsignedInteger"; 64; "C0BA8A3CD5620400")
Decode big endian 64-bit:
MBS( "Math.DecodeNumber"; "Integer"; 64; "0000000000000001"; 1)
