Change Data Storage

Menu: Grid | Values

Description

Changes a grid's data storage type, offset and scaling, e.g. from 4 byte floating point to 2 byte signed integer. This might be useful to increase precision or to save memory. If the target is not set, the original grid's storage type will be changed.

Parameters

	Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints
Input	Grid	grid, input	`INPUT`	-	-
Output	Converted Grid	grid, output, optional	`OUTPUT`	-	-
Options	Grid System	grid system	`PARAMETERS_GRID_SYSTEM`	-	-
	Data storage type	choice	`TYPE`	-	Available Choices: [0] bit [1] unsigned 1 byte integer [2] signed 1 byte integer [3] unsigned 2 byte integer [4] signed 2 byte integer [5] unsigned 4 byte integer [6] signed 4 byte integer [7] 4 byte floating point number [8] 8 byte floating point number Default: 7
	Offset	floating point number	`OFFSET`	-	Default: 0.000000
	Scale	floating point number	`SCALE`	-	Default: 1.000000
