Built-in Functions

storeAt(A,B,C,D) Finds a data element in the expression A, and replaces it with the D value, and

returns the result vector data. The data element is specified by the indices B and C.

B is the index for the primary plane of a two-dimensional array and C is the index

for the secondary plane. The index number starts from 1. The following example

replaces the A[5, 5] value with the D value and enters the result vector data to the

variable E.

Example E=storeAt(A,5,5,D)

Data type A: vector or numeric, B, C, D: numeric, E: vector.

string(A) Translates the expression A to a string data, and returns it.

Example B=string(A)

Data type A: numeric or module, B: string.

NOTE

Translating the variable defined with the numeric-symbol assignment

If the argument of the string function is a numeric variable defined with the

numeric-symbol assignment, the string function execution result will be the symbol

assigned to the numeric value, not the string value just translated from the numeric

value. The numeric-symbol assignment is defined in the

“Test Specification” on

page 3-5.

For the following example setup of the numeric-symbol assignment,

string(Mode) execution result at Mode=0 is the string OFF, not the string 0.

Parameter Mode, Value=0, Symbol=OFF

substring(A,B,C) Extracts a string from the string A, and returns it. B is the index used to specify the

first character to extract, and C is the number of characters to extract. The index

number starts from 0. If B or C is not an integer, digits over the decimal point are

used as the integer. The following example returns G.

Example D=substring("AGILENT",1,1)

Data type A: string, B, C: numeric, D: string.

swmToModule(A) Searches the measurement module connected to Agilent B2200/E5250 switching

matrix input port number A. And returns the module name.

Example B=swmToModule(A)

Data type A: string (Input port number 1 to 14), B: module.

tan(A) Returns the tangent value of the expression A.
