Using Agilent VEE Functions

Using Functions

The Status Bar at the bottom of the VEE screen prompts you to select the

replacement object. Click on the

Formula object that calls the

ArrayStats function. VEE automatically replaces the Call

ArrayStats

object with the new Formula object and retains the

wiring of the data lines.

The

Formula object takes the input at terminal A and sends it to the

UserFunction ArrayStats. ArrayStats delivers the record of

statistics to its terminal

X. The first output value from the

UserFunction (X) is returned to the Formula object and delivered to

its

Result output.

2. Run the program. It should look like Figure 8-6.

Figure 8-6. Calling the ArrayStats User Function

Notice that the functionality of ArrayStats in the Formula object is

exactly the same as it was in the

Call ArrayStats object. This

example uses a

Formula object, but you could call ArrayStats from

any input field that accepts expressions, such as the

To File object.

Note When you call a UserFunction from an expression, the UserFunction

will only deliver a single output (the uppermost data output pin). If you need

all of the outputs, or they cannot be put into a

Record, then use the Call

Function object.
