Signal-to-Symbol (FXP to Enum) Transformation

[Pete.Dunc]

Hi guys,

I am writing an application where I will have an array of temperatures in FXP (from an FPGA Read) which I would like to change to a symbollic representation ('HIGH', 'MED', etc.) depending upon the range in which the value lies.

ie;

I have implemented this in the following way;

This works for this simple example but if I had more than 3 states in my Enum the code would start to get pretty messy.

I would like the code to be able to handle;

• Different limits for different Signal Array elements; 0.2 could be 'MED' at one point but 'HIGH' for another.
• Also be scalable for ~10 Enum values.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Pete

Not really sure this is the 'right' direction...

Could you exploit the fact that an Enum. is stored as an integer in memory?

Doing this for 10 states and different comparisons for each would be difficult, no doubt.

Thanks for your replies 

I have expanded on nathand's suggestion to include multiple 'Temperature Readings' and different ranges for each;

One additional comment - you may want to insert a "Round toward +Infinity" before converting to U16, otherwise the ranges won't work quite the way you expect.
