The DO ... DONE construct is a special iteration construct. It behaves exactly like a FOR loop, but with
one special caveat: a DO ... DONE loop cannot have GOTO statements in it. CALL statements are
allowed in a DO … DONE loop.
Built-In Variables
The intent of built-in variables is to make system-wide setting values available to the developer. For
example, INTEGRATION_TIME_SECONDS establishes an integration time of 1 second by default. To
change this, assign it a new value prior to taking a spectrum reading. Those that are marked as constants
are not user-modifiable and are meant to convey values to system functions. For example, in specifying
lamp intensity the value ALLBULBS means “set all bulbs in the light source to the value” while BULB1
specifies the first bulb in the source.
Built-in Variables for Use
NOTE: Variables in red are important settings for the spectrometer and should be set by the developer to
alter the default behavior.
