NET API – Fieldbus Enumerated types like UNITS_INDEX

[rsaat]

                Is possible convert fieldbus  enumerated filedbus types , for instance , UNITS_INDEX from number to string using some .NET API function to call from a vb.net program ?

                I would like to convert , for instance , UNITS_INDEX parameter from 1001 to °C.

                Do I need to use fieldbus specification and code myself a dictionary  with all units  to display unit description to the user of my vb.net program ?

Hi,

There is no such NI-FBUS .Net API that converts UNIT_INDEX to unit string automatically. You need to write your own code to perform the conversion.
