Hi, I'm using python to run some lab equipment using PyVisa. When I read a list of values from the equipment, one of the fields is 32 bits of flags, but the value is returned as a floating point number, either in ASCII format, or pure binary. In either case, since I'm using PyVisa, it converts the number to a single precision floating point, and that's what I have to work with.
The question is how do I recover the bits out of this floating point value so I can read the flags represented here? Also, it's little (or big?) endian. Whatever... how do I manipulate the endianness? thanks Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
