Example Ocean measurement file in ADEXL

BradW

I'm trying to create an ADEXL measurement using an Ocean script and I'm not having a lot of luck.  I've been trying to find a simple example but I've yet to see one in the manual or online.  

Right now I'm just trying to get something very simple to work.  For example, I have a regular measure expression 

if(((VAR("trace0") == 0) && (VAR("trace1") == 0)) 4 0)

which works just fine.  If I take this code and plug it into a file and then tell it to use this file as an Ocean script I get an "eval err".  Is there some special format I need to use within the ocean script to get it to work with ADEXL?

 I'm presently using IC6.1.5-64b.500.132

 

Thanks

    Thanks Andrew,  

     That got me going but I have a couple follow on questions

     

    1.  Is there any way to use intermediate values calculated in other ADEXL measures inside the script?  It seems I have to redo all the calcs if I want their results available. 
    2. When I include the script location in ADEXL it copies the script to another path and then updates the path.  Is there any way to make it keep the original reference?  Took me a while to figure out why my changes weren't being evaluated.
    3. More of a comment than question, but if you put a name in the Output in ADEXL where you are evaluating the script then that value can't be used for an actual variable name.  When would you ever want a name for the step that evaluates the script?  Seems like it shouldn't be possible.
