Adds a new generic variable.
Syntax |
bool add_var(uint32 type, const string &in name, const string &in link='') |
|---|---|
type |
Type of variable (see table of variable types) |
name |
Variable name |
link |
Link of variable (optional) |
Result |
Returns true if variable added, false otherwise |

Variable name must be unique. The new variables will be operational, if valid, only after a restart of the data monitor, such as with a call to the restart_monitor() method. |
Example of use:
bool execute(pan3d::object @panel) { ... panel.add_var(pan3d::var_bool, "flag1"); /* Unlinked in memory variable */ panel.add_var(pan3d::var_double, "rr100", "SYS:RR(100)"); /* Variable in memory linked to real register 100 */ ... } |
