Var1 is a variable its value is flexible and is determined by operations on a different formula line for the current part Variables can represent numeric constants channel input values dimension values or the results of a wide variety of math operations Variables are important in formula creation because they enable users to create flexible formulas Rather than including data directly into a formula a user can use variables to represent the data Then when the formula is executed the variables are replaced with actual data This makes it possible for the same formula to process different sets of data as conditions change The Variables setup screen allows the user to see the current value of any of the 20 possible variables Variables that are not defined elsewhere by formulas can be set to constant values in this screen by highlighting a variable field and entering the value Variables that are defined by formulas cannot be changed in the Variable setup screen Variables are unique to the part they were created In For example a variable created in part 0 cannot be used in part 2 Global variables discussed later in this chapter can be used across all parts on page 82 Formulas are explained in the Formulas Variable functions are defined in the Formula setup screen section on page 163 ND 2100G GAGE CHEK Variables About Dimensions Formats Formulas Tolerant es SPC Header Memory Variables setup screen
