Description
Decodes the calling VirtualString from a binary form into a Variable value using the binary data format specified by dataType.
Timing Precision Mode
This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
