HOW TO ENTER A VARIABLE VALUE FROM KEYBOARD IN THE MIDDLE OF EXPT?

[HEAD]

In the middle of experiment, if I want to enter a variable with a number, say 345

I tried ACTION- Variable enter 

It does not work

I am using DASYLab 9.0

In general apart from possible use of slider module for this purpose, is it possible by any method to enter a numerical value during the running of the experiment?

Action - Variable Enter should work. Are you using just a number in the parameter field? Don't use the ${Var_xx} placeholder... just use xx

Optionally, if you are using Layout Windows, use the Table (Grid) object, and configure the cell to be Editable/Variable, and enter the placeholder for the Global variable into the cell entry field -- use the ${Var_xx} form here.

Once that is configured, the user just types in the cell, presses the Enter key, and the Global Variable is updated immediately.

Many THANKS to Mr. C.J

The solution was right on target. Yes, I had made a mistake. I had used ${Var_xx} from the variables list. This did not work. I have now used " xx" , as suggested by Mr. C.J. It works.. Thanks again.

Hello,

It looks the general response is to use “xx” instead of “${Var_xx}” in the placeholder field and you can use “${Var_xx}” if using the Layout Windows.  There is a topic titled Creating Layouts with the VI Tool in the DASYLab Help for more information about the Layout Window.
