FREQ | Syntax: FREQ <frequency in Hz>  | |||
LAMBDA | Syntax: LAMBDA <wavelength in metres>  | |||
  | Specify the frequency or   | |||
  | sources (all will be the same). FREQ is an alternative to  | |||

FUNCTION | Define a user math function. User functions can be anything REXX  | |||
  | can evaluate, plus elementary functions (sin, cos, tan, asin, acos,  | |||
  | atan, atan2, exp, ln), Bessel functions of the first kind of integer  | |||
  | order (Jn(x)), complete elliptic integrals, and a few other odds and  | |||
  | ends. Once defined, a user function can be used freely in  | |||
  | expressions anywhere a literal number or a variable could.  | |||
  | Functions may be defined in terms of variables, literals, or other  | |||
  | functions, subject to the file parsing rules. When optimization is  | |||
  | enabled, functions whose output values depend on variables being  | |||
  | optimized over will have their definitions updated on each iteration  | |||
  | to reflect the new values of these variables.  | |||
  | If the name of a formal parameter of the function is the same as  | |||
  | that of a user variable, the formal parameter will override the user  | |||
  | variable inside the function. Otherwise, any variables used by the  | |||
  | function will be taken from the global scope. This allows functions  | |||
  | to be parameterized by other variables, e.g. scale factors or offsets,  | |||
  | which are not in the formal parameter list.  | |||
