User Variables View
User variables allow the user to store data related to their system into a parameter, which the
user can name. The user must define each user variable by giving it a name, resolution
(number of decimal places), and initial value. All user variables are signed 32-bit parameters.
Setup for the User Variables is done on the User Variables view located under the Setup group
in the hierarchy. The User Variables view is shown in Figure 40 below.
