(Template Builder) Build -> Actuators -> Variable -> New/Modify    Shared Dialog Box

Create/Modify Variable Actuator

Creates or modifies a variable actuator. Learn about variable actuators.

For the option: Do the following:

Actuator Name

If creating a variable actuator, enter a name for it.

If modifying a variable actuator, enter its database name.

Type Define the actuator as left, right, or single.
Application (optional)

Enter a string for the application area.

Identifier (optional)

 Enter a string for the identifier.
Left/Right/ Function

Enter the function that defines the left/right data element variable created by the actuator.

If you selected a variable actuator of type single, you define only one function for the data element variable that will be created.

Select to use the Function or Expression Builder to define a function. For information on the Function or Expression Builder, see Function Builder.

Limits
(optional)

Enter a numerical string that defines the limits of the actuator(s).
Units
(optional) 		Enter a literal string to identify the units used in the actuator definition. This string is currently not used.

Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Your template-based product displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:

  • If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, your template-based product displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
  • If recording comments for any other entity type, your template-based product displays the Modify Comment dialog box.

Learn where Adams records comments.

 

Note: The limits are not used in the current version of your template-based product. They are optional and create string variables under the actuator user-defined element (ude) definition; the same applies to the unit, application, and identifier strings.
