into the object.
Data Output Pin

flow to the next object and passes the results of the first object’s operation
on to the next object.
Data Shape
Each data container has both a shape and type. The data shape can be
either a scalar or an array of one or more dimensions. In VEE, a one-
dimension array is called Array 1D, a two-dimension array is Array 2D,
and so forth.
Data Type
Each data container has both a type and shape. VEE supports many data
types including Text, Real64, Real32, and Int32.
Detail View
The view of a VEE program that shows all the objects and the lines that
connect them.
Direct I/O Object
An instrument control object that allows VEE to directly control an
instrument without using an instrument driver.
Double-Click
To press and release a mouse button twice in rapid succession. Double-
clicking is usually a short-cut to selecting and performing an action. For
example, double-clicking on a file name from
File ⇒ Open will select
the file and open it.
Drag
To press, and continue to hold down, a mouse button while moving the
mouse. Dragging moves something (for example, an object or scroll bar).
