MULTIPARAM

Class Functions

New

MyVariable = MULTIPARAM.New (Tag, Desc1, Desc2, Index, Value, Prompt)

Tag	STRING	Unique Identifier
Desc1	VECTOR	Vector of STRING containing the user selections
Desc2	VECTOR	Vector of STRING containing the extra description which is displayed when the user switches the selection
Index	INDEX	Initial selection of the multiparam
Value	REAL	Initial value of the multiparam
Prompt	STRING	Used by setup to prompt operator input

Example Inputs

Tag = “DISCHARGEMODE”

Desc1 = VectorNew(3)

Desc1 [0] = “Constant Current”

Desc1 [1] = “Constant Resistance”

Desc1 [2] = “Constant Power”

Desc2= VectorNew(3)

Desc2 [0] = “A”

Desc2 [1] = “ohm”

Desc2 [2] = “W”

Index = 0

Value = 1.0

Prompt = “Discharge Mode”

Instance Functions

Printl

Multiparam.Printl (Tag)

Tag

STRING

Optional. Used to print a different tag than the one used in the call to .New

The output for the Printl will look like

Tag<tab>MULTIPARAM<tab>Value <tab>Count<tab>Desc1_1<tab>..Desc1_[Count- 1]<tab>Desc2_1<tab>…Desc2_[Count – 1]<tab>Index<tab>Prompt

Using Example Inputs the output would look like:

DISCHARGEMODE<tab>1.0<tab>3<tab>Constant Current<tab>Constant Resistance<tab>Constant Power<tab>A<tab>ohm<tab>W<tab>0<tab>Discharge Mode

Value

Value = Multiparam.Value()

Value

REAL

The current value of the Multiparam object

Using Example Inputs the Value would equal 1.0

SetValue

Multiparam.SetValue(Value)

Value

REAL

New value of the Multiparam object

SetIndex

Multiparam.SetIndex(Index)

Index

INDEX

New Index of the Multiparam object

Index

Index= Multiparam.Index()

Index

INDEX

The current Index of the Multiparam object

Using Example Inputs the Index would equal 0.

Desc1

Desc1= Multiparam.Desc1()

Desc1

VECTOR

A Vector of STRING containing the different selections specified during the call to .New

Using Example Inputs the Desc1would be a vector of 3 containing:

Desc1 [0] = “Constant Current”

Desc1 [1] = “Constant Resistance”

Desc1 [2] = “Constant Power”

Desc2

Desc2 = Multiparam.Multipliers()

Desc2

VECTOR

A vector of STRING containing the different extra descriptions specified during the call to .New

Using Example Inputs the Desc2 would be a vector of 3 containing:

Desc2 [0] = “A”

Desc2 [1] = “ohm”

Desc2 [2] = “W”
