6. Define your M0 Floats. See Defining M0 Floats.
Defining M0 and M1 Floats and Integers
The procedures for defining M0 Floats, M0 Integers, M1 Floats and M1
Integers are virtually identical. In each case, you create a variable—or an
array of variables— using the same dialog box (except for the dialog
box’s name).
But, as you define these variables, remember:
• M1 Floats and M1 Integers transfer data from the 1394 GMC Turbo
to the SLC.
• M0 Floats and M0 Integers transfer data from the SLC to the 1394
GMC Turbo.
To define M0 and M1 floats and integers:
1. In the Tag Explorer, select the type of variable.
2. In the Tag Window, single-click the right mouse button. A variable
short-cut menu appears.
3. Select New. The appropriate dialog box appears. For example, the
SLC M0 Float dialog box appears below.
