Hi readers,

If I have a structure called sHisto:
STRUCT
History: ARRAY [1..64] OF REAL:
MaxValue: REAL;
MinValue: REAL;
AvgValue: REAL;
END_STRUCT

And I pass it to a functionblock as a pointer:
Measurement: POINTER TO sHisto;

How do I reference the members inside a functionblock? Is the following right?
Measurement.History[3] := 1.0; //set a single array value
temp := Measurement.History[3]^ ; //get a single array value
Measurement.MaxValue := 5.0; //set a member variable
temp := Measurement.MaxValue^; //get a member variable

SomePointerToReal := ADR(Measurement.MaxValue); //pass the addr of a value
SomePointerToRealArr := ADR(Measurement.History); //pass the address of an array
SomePointerTosHisto := (Measurement); //Pass the address of the structure

Best regards,

Someone will correct me if i'm wrong but when you use a pointer and want to access the values directly you need to de-reference it by using the ^. The de-reference comes after the variable pointer name and before the struct member.

So to access a pointer inside the FB you would use:
Measurement^.History[3] := 1.0; //set a single array value
temp := Measurement^.History[3] ; //get a single array value
Measurement^.MaxValue := 5.0; //set a member variable
temp := Measurement^.MaxValue; //get a member variable

If you are trying to pass the addr of a value while still in the FB you wouldn't need the ADR() since it is already referenced as a pointer. Otherwise you are passing an address of an address.
SomePointerToReal := Measurement.MaxValue; //pass the addr of a value
SomePointerToRealArr := Measurement.History; //pass the address of an array
SomePointerTosHisto := Measurement; //Pass the address of the structure
