Calculation clarification

Post by Knoore » Fri Oct 20, 2006 8:32 am

wait>2
Let>aantal=2
Let>metingen=3
Let>temptijd=2
send>temptijd
Press Enter
Let>temptijd=(temptijd+(aantal*4*20))
send>temptijd
Press Enter

This is the display:
2
(temptijd+(aantal*4*20))

Why doesnt it just calculate?

You want:

wait>2
Let>aantal=2
Let>metingen=3
Let>temptijd=2
send>temptijd
Press Enter
Let>temptijd={(%temptijd%+(%aantal%*4*20))}
send>temptijd
Press Enter

That correct syntax is shown in the Help documentation.

So this is not a "bug" and Subject Title is misleading.

Could create wrong signal to those who do not know the product and the excellent support.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
