Add delimiters in "AddCalculationChannel" formula

Hi,

 

I am trying to merge the content of three channels into a new one by using  "AddCalculationChannel" method.

It is working fine with the below formula:

Data.Root.ChannelGroups(i).Channels.AddCalculationChannel("Result", "=Status & Cycle & Temp")

 

...and my data:

But I need a delimiter (on the Result channel) between the content of the three channels like that: "OK-1-70"

The result "OK170" is not so convenient for me.

I couldn't find any formula to add a delimiter btw the contents, any string constant in the formula results in a 0 output.

Hi SorinP,

 

This calculation channel is designed to support calculations with channels. Adding a single character does not work. But you can create a text channel which contains the delimiter character and add this channel to the formula.

Thank you Walter, I will create a single delimiter channel and use it wherever I need.
