We can certainly help. Please provide some examples of the incoming data format you are trying to match and what you are needing to do with the data. Also let us know what you have tried so far.

Ok ... I finally could get some of the feedbacks to work but there are some taht don't work at all while they're perfectly working when used manually or wityhin another app.

For example, my AVR sends out a lot of feedback info and especially the Main volume level. But when the volume is set to -47.5dB (MV325 in the feedback), I see "-48.0dB" (MV32 in the feedback). I checked the rules, they're ok, I can't figure out why this specific "-47.5 rule" doesn't work at all.

It might come from the fact that the feedback doesn't show exactly MV325 but I am still unable to "sniff" correctly the feedback flow. Do you know any tool that would help me (the feedback of my AVR is streaming on Telnet port 23) ??

Thanks for your replies in advance !!

Ok, a friend of mine helped me and he found a nearly perfect solution except that it misses the "decimal part" of the value ... Here are the Group Rule infos :

RegEx = MV(\d{1,2})\x0d

Name = VOLUME
Capture Index = 1
Data Type = Analog
Target Type = Serial
Join = 3
Token Type = Value
Transform = 100*log10(value/100)::%2.0f dB
Min Value =
Max Value =
HexData = NonHex

Actually, when the value of the feedback is MV325 where it should display "-47.5 dB", it displays "-47 dB". Can you help me fixing either the RegEx and/or the Transform plz ??

Just for info, it is totally ok for me if it displays -47.0 dB and not -47 dB ;)

There are 2 different cases that happens for the Volume thing ..

1) Feedback sends a string like this : MV325
Transform String that works good : (value/10)-80::%02.0f.5 dB

2) Feedback sends a string like this : MV32
Transform String that works good : (value-80)::%02.0f.0 dB

I tried to use the "if(a,b,c)" thing but I could not get anything to work.

Can you help me finding a Transform string that would include both case #1 & #2 ??

Thanks in advance !

It looks like you can't respect the promise you gave me a week ago ...

I'm disappointed but it has helped me a little bit. It let me take the right decision : absolutely avoid iViewer product, an app about which I have absolutely no view for the future, about which I don't get any support and fo which I won't pay 90€ for a license that gives .... nothing !!!

I was looking for an alternative to iRule, but, and thanks to you all, it won't be iViewer or any other CommandFusion product.

Not fair and not professional ...

Sorry for the delay. It has been Easter public holidays over here and catching up on support tickets.

Due to the way that the incoming data is inconsistent, it is better to use two feedback items as you found.

There was a sample already posted in this group here:
https://groups.google.com/g/commandfusion/c/DqR-Rx1ZVLY/m/SUqWK2FyBQAJ

The raw guiDesigner data taken from that example:

      <fb name="vol_fdb_in_db_2digits" regex="MV(\d\d)\x0D">
        <group index="1" name="" datatype="a" target="s1" transform="value-80" />
      </fb>
      <fb name="vol_fdb_in_db_3digits" regex="MV(\d\d\d)\x0D">
        <group index="1" name="" datatype="a" target="s1" transform="(value/10-80):1" />
      </fb>
