I recently got a new laptop at work and transferred over to this new laptop. I have custom structures created on the old laptop. What file are those saved in? I'd also like to know this so that I can put it on our company SharePoint site and others can use those custom structures to look at data downloaded from flash memory from our electronics in our tools.

Another request would be to support some data types in the custom structures that is not currently supported.

  1. Other oddball data type sizes - I have a data item that can cover the range of possible values in a 24-bit wide unsigned integer (support for signed or unsigned would be good). I know 24 bit wide is an oddball size but since the possible range of values only spans between - and 264,000 it fits in a 24-bit sized variable and I can use the upper byte of the uint32 variable in the flash record for the record ID.
  2. This might be something to solve number 1. Support for bit fields inside a standard unsigned integer. Since this is firmware and because of some other serial transmissions and such we have data fields packed into uint8, uint16, and uint32 sized variables. A method to define bit fields and decode bit fields inside those variables would be a real nice feature.
