Using the Const Declaration
Public PTempC, PTempF
Const CtoF_Mult = 1.8
Const CtoF_Offset = 32
BeginProg
Scan(1,Sec,0,0)
PanelTemp(PTempC,250)
PTempF = PTempC * CtoF_Mult + CtoF_Offset
NextScan
EndProg
Predefined Contants
Several words are reserved for use by CRBasic. These words cannot be used as
variable or table names in a program. Predefined constants include some
instruction names, as well as valid alphanumeric names for instruction
parameters. In general, instruction names should not be used as variable, constant,
or table names in a datalogger program, even if they are not specifically listed as a
predefined constant. If a predefined constant, such as "SubScan" is used as a
variable in a program, an error similar to the following may be, but is not always,
displayed at CRBasic pre-compile.
Compile Failed!
line 8: SubScan is already is use as a predefined CONST.
Table Predefined Constants and Reserved Words (p. 123) lists predefined constants.
