John,
The sensor has .5 degree resolution. You can store INTTEMP.LOWBYTE into a NEW VAR of length WORD then multiply the new variable by 5. In your example 49 X 5 is 245. HEX "31" actually represents +24.5 degrees C. Use "DIG" to isolate the digits of the NEW VAR WORD. WORD size is suitable because the maximum of INTTEMP.LOWBYTE is HEX "AA", 170 X 5 = 850 which represent +85.0 degrees C.
