&Config.Aux.Dialog

Once you are at the desired location in the tree, you can request the

value of the object:

&Config.Aux.Dialog $Q Q for query

The inquiry ‘

$Q

’ initiates the output of the value on the instrument, in

other words the value output is triggered. Entries which begin with the

character ‘

$

’ always trigger something and are hence referred to as

triggers in what follows.
However, values of objects can not only be requested, they can also be

modified. Values are always inputted in inverted commas, e.g.

&Config.Aux.Dialog

"

english

"

Example

The root of the tree is designated by ‘&’.

For the call-up of an object, the nodes (levels) of the tree are
marked by a point (.).

For the call-up of the objects, as many characters as
necessary to allow unambiguous allocation of the object
suffice. If the call-up is not unambiguous, the first object in
the series is identified.

Call up of the dialog language:
&Config.Aux.Dialog
or &C.A.D

Uppercase and lowercase letters can be used.

A value can be assigned to an object. Values are marked at
both their beginning and end by inverted commas ("). They

the English expressions may be used. Numeric values can
contain up to 6 digits, a negative sign and a decimal point.
Numbers with more than 6 digits are not accepted; more
than 4 decimal places are rounded off. With numbers <1,
leading zeros must be entered.
