dataConverter |
DataConverter |
any DataConverter |
the DataConverter used to encode/decode the Data from the string |
| encodedData |
String |
depends on DataConverter |
the actual data converted into String padded with zeros |

Size in bits |
| littleEndian |
Boolean |
true/false |
true if littleEndian, false if bigEndian. This flag is only evaluated if
bitsize if a multiple of 8. |
signed |
Boolean |
true/false |
true if signed, false if unsigned |

bitsize if a multiple of 8. |
signed |
Boolean |
true/false |
true if signed, false if unsigned |
MS-Dos TimeDate
MS-Dos TimeDate uses a little endian dword to encode the time and date.
