Number of bits: short

Bit length of C short data type for test hardware

Model Configuration Pane: Hardware Implementation

Description

The Number of bits: short parameter specifies the bit length of the C short data type for the hardware that you use to test code.

Selecting a device by using the Device vendor and Device type parameters sets a device-specific value for this parameter.

Dependencies

This parameter is enabled only if you can modify it for the selected hardware.

Settings

16 (default) | 8 | 24 | 32

The bit length must be an integer multiple of 8 that is less than or equal to 32. Different devices have different settings available for this parameter.

Recommended Settings

Application	Setting
Debugging	No impact
Traceability	No impact
Efficiency	Target specific
Safety precaution	No impact when Test hardware is the same as production hardware is selected. If it is not selected, no recommendation.
