Function Name set_status
Function Syntax vs_discrete set_status(vs_discrete,
status) OR
vs_float set_status(vs_float, status)
Input Any symbol that is a value status combination
Purpose This function sets the status of the input parameter
to the input status and returns the input parameter
with the old value and newly set status.
Return value vs_discrete or vs_float input parameter with
the old value but new status
Function Name get_status
Function Syntax unsigned char get_status(vs_discrete)
OR
unsigned char get_status(vs_float)
Input Any symbol that is a value status combination
Purpose This function retrieves the status of the input
parameter and returns it.

Function Name to_scaled
Function Syntax vs_float to_scaled( float valueToScale,
float engUnit0,
float engUnit100)
Input engUnit0 is the low value of the scale range,
engUnit100 is the high value of the scale range,
and valueToScale is the floating point value
(implicitly between 0 and 1) that needs to be scaled
(i.e., 0 <=
valueToScale <= 1)
