DM POSX[7] 

Defines an array names POSX with seven entries  

DM SPEED[100] 

Defines an array named speed with 100 entries  

DM POSX[0] 

Frees array space 

Like variables, each array element can be assigned a value.  Assigned values can be numbers or returned values 
from instructions, functions and keywords.   

Array elements are addressed starting at count 0.  For example the first element in the POSX array (defined with the 
DM command, DM POSX[7]) would be specified as POSX[0]. 

Values are assigned to array entries using the equal sign.  Assignments are made one element at a time by specifying 
the element number with the associated array name. 

NOTE:  Arrays must be defined using the command, DM, before assigning entry values. 

Examples: 

DM SPEED[10] 

Dimension Speed Array 

SPEED[1]=7650.2 

Assigns the first element of the array, SPEED the value 7650.2 

SPEED[1]= 

Returns array element value 

POSX[10]=_TPX 

Assigns the 10

th

 element of the array POSX the returned value from the tell 

position command. 

CON[2]=@COS[POS]*2 

Assigns the second element of the array CON the cosine of the variable POS 
multiplied by 2. 

TIMER[1]=TIME 

Assigns the first element of the array timer the returned value of the TIME 
keyword. 

An array element number can also be a variable.  This allows array entries to be assigned sequentially using a 
counter. 

For example: 

#A Begin 

Program 

COUNT=0;DM POS[10] 

Initialize counter and define array 

#LOOP Begin 

loop 

WT 10 

Wait 10 msec 

POS[COUNT]=_TPX Record 

position into array element 

POS[COUNT]= Report 

position 

COUNT=COUNT+1 Increment 

counter 

JP #LOOP,COUNT<10 

Loop until 10 elements have been stored 

EN End 

Program 

The above example records 10 position values at a rate of one value per 10 msec.  The values are stored in an array 
named POS.  The variable, COUNT, is used to increment the array element counter.  The above example can also be 
executed with the automatic data capture f

eature described below. 

Arrays may be uploaded and downloaded using the QU and QD commands. 

QU array[],start,end,delim 
QD array[],start,end 
where array is an array name such as A[].
