ADE Calculator: how to reuse equation ?

boulot

 Hi,

 I want to write an equation  'X' in an other equation 'Y'.

Exemple, Actually  I must write entirely the equation like this:

X=VAR("vbat")/1000,

Y=5000*VAR("vbat")/1000

Now I want to simplify this equation : 

X=VAR("vat")/1000 ,

Y=X*150

So can I  invoke a previous equation in other equation in the calculator?? Thanks.

    Actually you can workaround this though. All you need to do is ensure that your expressions in the calculator have an assignment in - so literally are:

    X=VAR("vbat")/1000

    (i.e. make sure the X= is in there). You also need to ensure the expression is evaluated - so hit the eval button.

    Having done that, you've created a SKILL variable X which can then be re-used in later expressions.

    However, in IC615, as Quek points out, there's a much cleaner way of doing this with the expression editor. That keeps track of dependencies and ensure that dependent expressions are evaluated, and avoids the need to put assignments in the expressions.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
