Example Ocean measurement file in ADEXL

BradW
BradW over 11 years ago

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

    To answer Brad's questions:

    1. You should be able to use calcVal("outputName") to reference an output computed previously outside the OCEAN script. I've not checked - but I believe this works (I think I've tried it before)
    2. You can control this with the following cdsenv:
      adexl.gui copyMeasurementScripts boolean nil
      or from SKILL: envSetVal("adexl.gui" "copyMeasurementScripts" 'boolean nil)
      The default is t, but with nil it leaves them at the original location
    3. If you use axlOutputResult(value) - i.e. with no second argument, it outputs it to the row of the script - so naming it would make sense then. This is useful for when you only have one output from your measurement script.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
