Field Documentation

bit_ref

int wreport::_Varinfo::bit_ref

Binary reference value for the variable.

The value of the variable can be encoded as an unsigned binary value by computing value * exp10(scale) + bit_ref.

Referenced by set_bufr().

scale

int wreport::_Varinfo::scale

Scale of the variable, defining its decimal precision.

The value of the variable can be encoded as a decimal integer by computing value * exp10(scale).

Referenced by set_bufr(), and set_crex().
