Typical variable types are as follows:
Single Single precision floating point number
Double Double precision floating point number
Integer Integer
Long Long integer
Enum Member of list
String String
In the case of enum variables, you may specify the value using the actual values (for example, “INT” or
“EXT”) for Reference source in the example already given. You may also give the position in the list for the
value you want to use (for example, 0 or 1 in the given example). All lists begin with the zero
th
element. In the
next figure we see that the variable for SampleMode is an enum type, and that the scope is currently running in
real time mode.
The following inputs are allowed.
Real Time Mode app.Acquisition.Horizontal.SampleMode = 0
Real Time Mode app.Acquisition.Horizontal.SampleMode = “RealTime”
Sequence Mode app.Acquisition.Horizontal.SampleMode = 1
Sequence Mode app.Acquisition.Horizontal.SampleMode = “Sequence”
Were you to select Edit, Copy at this point the line app.Acquisition.Horizontal.SampleMode
would be copied into the clipboard for use in your own application program.
