15 - Script Commands
Set Variable Command
You must put the End Loop command after the last command which you want in
the loop. To move the End Loop command, click on it and drag it to the required
position. All of the commands within the loop will then be indented. If necessary,
you can add more script commands later between the Begin Loop and End Loop
commands.
The End Loop command has no parameters to configure.
15.41 Set Variable Command
The Set Variable command is used to declare (define) a numeric or string variable
in a pipetting script and to assign an initial value. You can also prompt the
instrument operator for the value. See 14.1 “Variables and Expressions in
Scripts”, 14-1 for more information. In Freedom EVOware Plus, you can also
declare variables by choosing Declare Variables in the Execute menu (see
6.4.6 “Declare Variables”, 6-12).
Fig. 15-68 Set Variable command
The parameters of the Set Variable command are as follows:
Variable name
Specify the name of the variable. Variable names in scripts can be 1 - 64
characters in length, are not case-sensitive and must not begin with a digit.
Alternatively, choose the variable from the pull-down list. The pull-down list
shows all of the variables which you have used (declared) so far in your script
and all of the commonly used, writable pre-defined variables which are
available. See 14.1.4 “Pre-Defined Variables”, 14-4 for a complete list of
pre-defined variables.
Variable type
Choose Number or String depending on the variable type you want to declare.
Variable value
Specify the integer, floating point value or string you want to assign as the
initial value. The name of the Enter variable value field changes to Enter
default value if you check the User Query checkbox (see below).
