3.3.12 Arrays
Arrays are tables in which data can be stored.
Arrays can be one- or two-dimensional. A one-dimensional array is treated like a
two-dimensional array with just one line or column.
Definition
Arrays have start identifier //A and end identifier //END. The number of lines and
columns is optional. An array is structured in the following way:
//A(identifier)
(a/b...)
(c/d...)
...
//END
where:
Identifier Name of array
a, b, c, d Values of array
Note
Values of the String type must be enclosed in quotation marks.
//A(Thread)
; Size / Pitch / Core diameter
(0.3 / 0.075 / 0.202)
(0.4 / 0.1 / 0.270)
(0.5 / 0.125 / 0.338)
(0.6 / 0.15 / 0.406)
(0.8 / 0.2 / 0.540)
(1.0 / 0.25 / 0.676)
(1.2 / 0.25 / 0.676)
(1.4 / 0.3 / 1.010)
(1.7 / 0.35 / 1.246)
//END
Downloading
The LA (Load Array) function can be used to load an array from another file.
LA(Identifier [, File])
where:
Identifier Name of array to be loaded
File File in which the array is defined
Note
If an array in the current configuration file must be replaced by an array from
another configuration file, then both arrays must have the same name.
