A statusString-to-string link results in that string value in the statusString.

A statusString-to-boolean link has a “False Value” converter property, with a default value of false. Any other source string value, instead of (or in addition to) this “False Value” string (case insensitive) results in the target boolean value to be true. Note that a blank statusString source value is also a boolean true (unless the “False Value” has been set to blank).

A statusString-to-double or statusString-to-float link requires a source string using decimal numerals only, expressed as a decimal number or integer, either positive or negative. Any other source sting characters (or blank string) results in the linked double or float to have a “nan” (not a number) value.

A statusString-to-long or statusString-to-integer link requires a source string expressed as an integer only, either positive or negative. Any additional characters in the source string results in the linked long or integer slot to have a 0 value, or the last non-zero value.

A statusString-to-statusNumeric link requires a source string using decimal numerals only, expressed as a decimal number or integer, either positive or negative. Any other source sting characters (or blank string) results in the linked statusNumeric to have a “fault” condition, and no value change.

A statusString-to-ord link provides no Niagara ord format/error checking—use sparingly.

A statusString-to-absTime link requires an ISO-formatted string—otherwise, the linked absTime value remains null. The ISO format is “yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mmm[+/-]hh:mm”, for example, “2011-01-31T13:23:53.772-05:00”, which an absTime slot could show as “31-Jan-2011 01:23 PM EST”.
