Explicit data type conversions (AXTOINT, INTTOAX)

Function
The data type of an axis variable can be converted explicitly with the predefined functions
AXTOINT and INTTOAX.
Type conversion AXIS → INT
Syntax:
<result>=AXTOINT(<value>)
Meaning:
<result>
AXTOINT
<value>
Type conversion INT → AXIS
Syntax:
<result>=INTTOAX(<value>)
<result>
INTTOAX
<value>
Example
See example of GETVARDFT at "Read attribute values / data type (GETVARPHU,
GETVARAP, GETVARLIM, GETVARDFT, GETVARTYP) (Page 56)".

: INT representation of the axis variables (≙ axis index <n>)
In case of fault
= 7 NO_AXIS, i.e. <value> contains the value "no axis"
= -1 <value> is not an axis name of type AXIS
: AXTOINT converts the data type of a axis variable from AXIS to INT

Data type: AXIS
: AXIS representation of the axis variables (≙ axis name)
In case of fault
= NO_AXIS
= -1
: INTTOAX converts the data type of a axis variable from INT to AXIS
: INT value of the axis variables
Range of
values:
<value> contains the value "no axis"?
<value> is an INT value for which there is no axis name of type
AXIS?
