Hi all,

I'm using the Java SDK and java.lang.Integer get LeftRightBalance() returns the value of the Left-Right balance. However I don't understand the format of what it's returned (for example: 37693). I would like to know how I can convert it into % format for left and right.

Thanks      

In Profile.xls you can see that session, lap and record mesg use the type 'left_right_balance_100' and 'left_right_balance' for the left_right_balance_field. You can see the definition of these types on the types sheet.

For your example it seems you are working with left_right_balance_100 found in session and lap:
37693 = 0x933D
The MSB is set so the quantity represents right power contribution.
0x133D = 4925 => 49.25% right, 50.75% left.      

Thanks it makes senses.      

Btw, I didn't found in the difference between 'left_right_balance_100' and 'left_right_balance'.

Cheers      

They are both defined on the types sheet. Left_right_balance_100 is 2 bytes allowing for 2 decimal digits (scale=100, 50%=5000). Left_right balance is uint8 size so 50%=50. In both cases if the MSB is set the qty represents the known right pedal contribution.      

Ok I see it in the Profile.xls

Thanks
