Function

This Step is used to convert the input data type to the specified output data type by customizing the data types of the input and output ports.

Usage Scenario

This Step is a general data conversion Step, with no fixed usage scenarios. It can be connected with other Steps according to actual data-type conversion requirements.

Data Conversion Relationship

The conversion relationships between input data types and output data types are shown in the table below. You can configure the input data type and output data type according to the actual requirement.

Input Description

Generate input ports based on the selected input data type.

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
Input Data Type	Parameter description: This parameter specifies the data type of the input port. The corresponding input port is generated based on the selection. Default value: None Tuning instructions: Refer to Data Conversion Relationship and select the corresponding data type according to the actual requirement.
Output Data Type	Parameter description: This parameter specifies the data type of the output port. The corresponding output port is generated based on the selection. Default value: None Tuning instructions: Refer to Data Conversion Relationship and select the corresponding data type according to the actual requirement.

Parameter

Description

Input Data Type

Parameter description: This parameter specifies the data type of the input port. The corresponding input port is generated based on the selection.
Default value: None
Tuning instructions: Refer to Data Conversion Relationship and select the corresponding data type according to the actual requirement.

Output Data Type

Parameter description: This parameter specifies the data type of the output port. The corresponding output port is generated based on the selection.
Default value: None
Tuning instructions: Refer to Data Conversion Relationship and select the corresponding data type according to the actual requirement.

You should pay attention to the dependency relationship between input port and output port while using this Step:

When you change the data type of either the input or the output port, if the new data type cannot be converted to/from the data type of the other port, the data type of this other port is reset.
If the data type of a port is changed (including the reset mentioned above), connection(s) to this port is deleted, and you will need to reconnect the Steps.

Output Description

Generate output ports based on the selected output data type.
