Appendix C. Public Variables
Some of the variables in the AP200’s CRBasic program are included in the
Public table. These public variables may be displayed or edited with a
keyboard display or PC. Other program variables are hidden from the user to
reduce clutter in the Public table. Many of these public variables are saved in
the output tables. Some of the public variables allow the user to set the
operation of the system or to give diagnostic information. The intended usage
of the public variables is categorized as follows:
IRGA
measured directly by the IRGA
TAIR
air temperature (defined only if
N_AirTemps > 0)
DIAG
diagnostic
USER
user setting
INFO
provides information on system status
INFO/USER conditional user setting (may set if the sequence is stopped)
CONFIG
system configuration parameter - saved in file
sys_conf_var.dat.
The public variables are listed in TABLE C-1.
