8.2.3.1.14 Summary of Select Line Syntax Rules
• A fixed numeric value must include a decimal point “.” or be in scientific
notation. There are some exceptions to this as noted below.
• Scientific notation has the format “mantissa E power of ten” (e.g., 3E5 = 3
x 10
5
).
• Element numbers are entered without a decimal point.
• Commas separate Select line parameters (e.g., 2,3,(3+4)/3.2,6).
• Two decimal points are used to select consecutive elements between
starting and ending elements (e.g., 3..6, refers to the elements 3,4,5, and
6).
• A set is a group of two or more elements and/or expressions separated by
commas and enclosed by parentheses. No member of a set can include
parentheses. Therefore, a set cannot include a set or a function as one of
its members. For example:
VALID EXPRESSION INVALID EXPRESSION
Arctan (2/3) Arctan ((2/3))
Arctan (2/3, 3/4, 4/5) Arctan ((2/3, 3/4), 4/5)
Arctan (COS(2)) Arctan (COS(2), COS(3))
