Using Data Types

VEE supports several data types, including text, integer and real numbers, and several types of complex and coordinate numbers. You have already seen how the A+B object can add two waveforms together in earlier examples. Mathematical operators, such as addition ( +), can act on several data types and can even act on mixed data types.

For example, to create the following program clear the Main window, place the following objects in the Main window, and connect them as shown, noting the following information.

1 Select File

⇒ New to clear the work area.

2 Add a Real64 Constant object by selecting Data

⇒ Constant

⇒ Real64.

3 Add a Complex Constant object by selecting Data

⇒

Constant

⇒ Complex.
