1.8.7 Setting Variable Constants to Use in Computation
Variable constants are constants that can be varied even when computation or recording is
in progress. They can be used for math and logic math.
You can vary variable constants on the setting screen or tuning screen (when the PID
control module is installed).

Set the constant. The number of significant digits of a constant is eight. When specifying a
constant using exponential notation, set the mantissa using up to 8 digits and the exponent
using up to 2 digits. The constants in the range specified by Constant number are displayed.
Note
When advance security is enabled, variable constants cannot be varied when recording is in
progress.
