You can send controls by writing the parameter to offset 3114 then the control number to 3110. (Or write both together in one 8-byte write).

Dear Pete i have another problem needed help i am trying to read offset  0x654C FPA on MCP of PMDG777 how do i convert them to decimal like it is display on the panel i am getting a lots of number below are my code and log
 

monitor_offset.lua

monitor_offset.log

0x654c is a 4-byte float32, so you need to use ipc.readFLT and not ipc.readSD.

Presumably you have enabled these offsets as described in the offset mapping document for the PMDG 777X? That document also contains the size and type of each offset, which will help you to determine which ipc.read function to use.
