If you try to set something outside the bounds of an array, or you make some other error, or
something overflows, or you ask for something impossible, such as log(-13), the instrument tells
you the line number, and the nature of the problem. Other types of error may not be given the
correct line number, for example, if "Next" or "End If" is omitted, because VBS does not know
where it should have been.
UnscaledData is simply a copy of the input data set.
ReDim newDataArray(OutResult.Samples) defines an array of data for use as a scratch pad. Dim
is short for Dimension, which is used in Visual Basic to declare a variable (even if it only has one
element, in which case you omit the size of the array).
InResult.DataArray(False) means that the data are signed integers in the range -32768 to 32767.
False is a Boolean value applying to the property Scaled. Scaled data are specified in the units of
the vertical scale, such as volts. You get these by putting "True" instead of "False". If you want to
make a section of the output trace invisible, you simply set the data values to full scale or bigger,
top or bottom.
You can start with the unscaled data (False) as input, and then set the output data to scaled data
(True), and you can go from scaled to unscaled. Using scaled data, an overflow will make a
picture like this:
You can also start with True and convert to False, but in this case overflows will cause an error
message.
Anything after a single quotation mark on a line will not be used by the instrument. This feature is
intended for comments, for example
' This is a comment.
A = Amp * Sin(Omega * T) Calculate the output.
