That might work; unfortunately, I need to keep the code compatible with 7.0 since we're interfacing with a 98 only program.

Nope. You have to use a variable of some kind. I'm in the habit of doing stuff like the attached.

But it's worse that that in some ways. For instance, your for count example. You can't use a variable directly. You add an input and use a get variable with it's output wired to the input.

In general, native objects require either true absolute constants (as in you type in one thing and that's it) or input feed from an input pin.
Formula objects are not nearly so restrictive - one reason I tend to do "complete test solution in a formula box".

add a control input to the For Counts, with the control input
being fed by a global variable. That will do what you are asking for.

I had that thought, but Iâ€™d consider it sloppy programming if done in C, and was hoping for a more elegant solution.Â Such is life.

What you can do is setup a global variable that you can initialize at the beginning of your program and use that to feed the count input pin of the for count.Â Just add an input terminal to the For Count and feed it the output of a Get Variable.Â Â I do that all the time.

Subject: [vrf] symbolic constants

Hi,

Is there a â€œsymbolic constantâ€ function in VEE similar in use and function to the â€œ#defineâ€ in C?Â As an example of what I mean, I want to change all the â€œfor count 10â€ s to â€œfor count 12â€ s if we need to test a substrate that has 12 positions instead of only 10, but I want to set up a single place to change 10 to 12.

Â

Thanks,

Scott Margo
