I don't know. I was going from a quick glance at the BI API for
analog <br>
outputs.<br>

So it looks like 12 bit from 3/24/07 Leo wrote: <br><br>

Well there are two ways to do it, you give me a formula that I can use to
<br>
create a custom CIM based function for you to call, or you can implement
<br>
the formula yourself in Lua.</blockquote><br>
I like the first part of your answer<br><br>

It's part of the documentation in FSUIPC and there's also a column that
<br>
shows it. If you look at the screen shot I posted, look at the
"Type" <br>
column.<br><br>
<br>

Actually that's the code for write. You won't ever need to deal
with that <br>
though - in fact hand editing the configuration file will only get you
<br>
into trouble unless you know exactly what you're changing and what effect
<br>
it could have. The configuration files (there are two - one for the
<br>
simulator software configuration and one for the hardware configuration)
<br>
are created and maintained by CIM so you don't have to worry about <br>
remembering storage codes, etc.</blockquote><br>
Ok, how will custom offsets in Project Magenta be entered?<br><br>
For PM systems they occupy FSUIPC offsets 5600 to 57FF<br><br>
