A variable of type BOOL is created with the
name IF_TOOMUCH.
The system initializes the variable with zero
(FALSE).
A variable of type BOOL is created with the
name IF_TOOMUCH.
You can assign a code for the ASCII
character to the variable of type CHAR or
assign the ASCII character directly (65 is the
code for the letter "A").
Variables of type STRING can store a string
of characters. The maximum number of
characters is enclosed in square brackets
after the variable type.
The variables of type AXIS have the name
AXISNAME and contain the axis identifier of
a channel – here X1 (axis names with
extended addresses are enclosed in
parentheses).
The variables of type FRAME are called
INCLINE_1.
