Error Text

Bad «type», "Real", passed to SipEncode.  
Must be "Single", "Double", "Binary", "Integer", or "Float", or "S", "D", "B", "I", or "F".

Cause

The SipEncode function handles five types of encoding, as indicated in the error message. You've passed an unrecognized name (in the example, "Real") as the «type» parameter. This would happen, for example, in the following example:

SipEncode(Energy_consumption, type: "Real")

Remedy

Change the «type» parameter to one of the five recognized values, e.g.:

SipEncode(Energy_consumption, type: "Single")
