weird issue

[simon@qic.ca]

So I'm trying to solve a problem I'm having with waynehead99's Energy Usage script.

I have a variable (dim as decimal) called kWh

the script makes some calculation to put into that variable.

if I:

hs.writelog ("kwh: ", kWh)

The value displayed in the log is fine

if I:

hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(ParmArray(3), kWh, True)

parmarray(3) being a virtual device.

The device value written ends up something like this: 9.71372584975558E-319 when it should be 1.552 in this case

am I missing something ?

thanks

Simon
