9. New MATH FSC function to read or write to an .ini file Function name is RIF Function name is WIF Read/Write to .ini Store your cal factors

10. Read/Write to .ini • Example: • MATH S[1] = “C:\\CALFACTORS.TXT” • MATH M[1] = RIF(S[1], “SECTION 1”, “CF1”) • MATH FSC function to read or write to an .ini file • Where the ini would look like: • [Section 1] • CF1 = 9.97 • CF2 = 1.001 • CF3 = 0.109

11. Assists debugging problems with IEEE-488 I/O by tracing all MET/CAL data messages written to or read from the IEEE-488 bus Debug data written to file “mcdebug.txt” in <workdir> directory Use command line arguments “-df -trace” IEEE-488 I/O Trace D:\metcal\mcr32.exe -df -trace

12. New FSCs “SCPI” and “IEEE2” Improves built-in error handling for procedure writers using devices which support the SCPI or IEEE-488.2 standards Faster procedure development Easier procedure debugging IEEE2/SCPI

13. The IEEE2 and SCPI FSCs provide "built-in" sequence control and error handling that is not automatically provided by the IEEE FSC. 1.088 IEEE2 OUT 100 OHM;ZCOMP NONE;OPER IEEE2/SCPI

14. THE IEEE2 FSC IS SENDING……… IEEE2/SCPI "*CLS;*SRE 96;*ESE 61;OUT 100 OHM;ZCOMP NONE;OPER;*OPC" “*Clear to Send; *Mask Service Request Event Register to look for SRQ ; Mask Event Status register to report type of error; then send The IEEE commands to the UUT; *Check for Operation Complete”

16. Four new FSCs to improve procedure writing and procedure readability: IFcondition ELSE [comment] ELSEIFcondition ENDIF [comment] As with JMPL, condition may be any MATH FSC expression. IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, and ENDIF

17. IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, and ENDIF # Verify MET/CAL version compatibility. 1.008 IF VERS() < 7.01 1.009 DISP This procedure requires MET/CAL 7.01 or later. 1.010 JMPL END 1.011 ENDIF

18. IF, ELSE, ELSEIF, and ENDIF 1.001 MEMI Enter an integer: 1.002 IF (MEM == 1) 1.003 DISP value is 1 1.004 ELSEIF (MEM == 2) 1.005 DISP value is 2 1.006 ELSEIF (MEM == 3) 1.007 DISP value is 3 1.008 ELSEIF (MEM > 3) 1.009 DISP value is greater than 3 1.010 ELSE 1.011 DISP value is less than 1 1.012 ENDIF

19. New FSCs to Allow Looping in Procedures WHILEcondition ENDW [comment] DO [comment] UNTILcondition As with JMPL, condition may be any MATH FSC expression WHILE, ENDW, DO, & UNTIL FSC’s

20. #This will continue to loop until a valid entry (number <= 3) is # entered 1.001 DO 1.002 MEMI Enter: (1) Insert, (2) Review, (3) Exit 1.003 MATH L[4] = MEM 1.004 UNTIL MEM <= 3 WHILE, ENDW, DO, & UNTIL FSC’s Note: This does NOT allow looping on a reading!!

21. This procedure fragment will execute the loop 10 times while it counts down the value of MEM. 1.001 MATH MEM = 10 1.002 WHILE (MEM > 0) 1.003 HEAD [MEM][D1000] 1.004 MATH MEM = MEM - 1 1.005 ENDW WHILE, ENDW, DO, & UNTIL FSC’s

22. Logical AND and Logical OR operators added to MATH Expression Parser Example (Logical AND): IF (M[1] < 10 && M[2] > 5) Example (Logical OR): WHILE (MEM < 5 || MEM1 < 5) 3.011 IF PSUB("744") || (PSUB("2020") && (M[33] >= 2.0)) 3.012 CALL Sub Fluke 744 (1yr) Hart Mode VER RS-232 3.013 ENDIF Logical AND and OR Operators

23. New “WAIT” FSC Allows procedure writer to invoke a countdown timer with a customized message 2.015 WAIT -t 30 Thermal emfs dissipating... 3.021 WAIT -a –t 18:30 Wait for Self Test.. WAIT FSC

24. Many users extend the cal intervals for their references. MET/CAL accuracy files will now allow a range of cal intervals to be mapped to a particular specification. For example: “Use the 90-day specs for any cal interval from 2 months to 6 months.” Cal Interval Ranges

25. The Test Results window now includes data generated by RSLT statements, and brace data ({xxx}) from message-type FSCs. Strings are shown in cyan (cyan) to distinguish fromred, green, andyellowevaluation data. 1.001 DISP SET THE UUT TO THE {3 VOLT RANGE} 1.002 ASK+ K 1.003 5520 2.9000V 1% RSLT & Brace Data in Test Results

26. New MATH FSC function to retrieve database Inventory Table data for a specified asset and a specified field. Function name is INV. Example: MATH S[5] = INV(“A26”, 4202) asset number is “A26” field is 4202 (manufacturer) manufacturer name will be stored in string register S[5] Function: Fetch Inventory Data

27. New MATH FSC function to retrieve the serial number of a specified asset Function name is SN. Example: MATH MEM2 = SN(“A15”) “A15” is the asset number serial number will be placed in string register MEM2 Function: Get Serial Number

28. A new MATH FSC function, CTIME, to convert an “HH:MM:SS” time string to an equivalent number of seconds. Example: MEM = CTIME("1:10:15") Function: Time Conversion

29. A new MATH FSC function, DEG, to convert from radians to degrees. Example: 1.004 MATH MEM = DEG(3.1415926) 1.005 DISP 3.1415926 radians = [MEM] degrees MET/CAL will display: 3.1415926 radians = 179.99999693 degrees Function: Radians to Degrees

30. New MATH Function: FRND FRND rounds a floating-point number to a specified number of significant digits. Example: MATH MEM = FRND(12.34567, 4) Value of MEM will be 12.35. Floating-Point Rounding Function

31. A new argument, “-u” has been added for use with the DOS and DOSE FSCs. “-u” overrides the user of the “user_prog_dir” initialization file parameter. This allows MET/CAL to find programs (executables) which are in the user’s PATH, but not in the specified MET/CAL user program directory. A typical example would be a program like “WinWord.exe” (Microsoft Word). New “-U” Argument for DOS FSC

32. New bank of 32 numeric “L” registers for use in the MATH FSC Makes procedure writing easier by providing registers local to each subprocedure invocation Existing MATH functions updated to support L-registers Local Numeric Registers

33. 32 New Local Numeric Registers They Work Like the M[x] Registers 1.001 MATH L[5] = 25 1.002 MATH L[6] = 45 1.003 MATH L[7] = 20 1.004 MATH MEM = AVG_L(5, 7) 1.005 MATH MEM1 = MAX_L(5, 7) 1.006 MATH M[1] = MIN_L(5, 7) 1.007 MATH M[2] = RSS_L(5, 7) 1.008 MATH M[3] = SDEV_L(5, 7) 1.009 DISP The Average is [MEM] 1.009 DISP The Maximum is [MEM1] 1.009 DISP The Minimum is [M1] 1.009 DISP The RSS is [M2] 1.009 DISP The Standard Deviation is [M3]
