Why Doesnt my send level not work

I was wondering if i'm changing the volume on the processor and parsing the data out to an variable (in this case cVolume), shouldn't this update my bargraph if i use the send level in an active statement.


The Parsing does work i can see cvolume update with the right info instantly whenever i hit volume up or down.
dTP[2] is 10002:1:0
The Bargraph is set to passive with a range of 0-255, level port 1, level code 1

Another thing i'm not sure about is how to convert the values in cVolume which range from hex 0C (+12db) to hex B0 (-80) to something that i can display in the bargraph with a range of 0-255 or 0-100.

Any help will be appreciated
