4.3.2 Variables
The system has variables with which the user may adjust the system to his needs and communicate with the I/O. Actually these variables consist of parameters, inputs and outputs. A variable may be read and sometimes also may be written. The table below lists the variables, describes them and specifies which of them may be also written.
The methods to read and write a variable are:
Read:
Get_Variable(r<Variable Name>)
Returns a string with the value of the variable.
r<Variable Name> is the variable name as it appears in the table below, prefixed by ‘r’ for read, e.g., rOutput_1_Mode.
Write:
Set_Variable(w<Variable Name>, Value)
w<Variable Name> is the variable name as it appears in the table below, prefixed by ‘w’ for write, e.g., wOutput_1_Mode.
Value is a string with the value of the value to be written to the variable.
