The sequence I use for softkeys simply places a number in X.

Code:

.. LBL "A", 1, GTO 11 LBL "B", 2, GTO 11 LBL "C", 3, GTO 11 LBL "D", 4, GTO 11 LBL "E", 5, GTO 11 LBL "F", 6, GTO 11 LBL "G", 7, GTO 11 LBL "H", 8, GTO 11 LBL "I", 9, GTO 11 LBL "J", 10 # GTO 11 not needed here. fall through... # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # All timer toggle keys A-J funnel through here... LBL 11 ..

Hi, Bill

That's the idea, but we have just one line in display, so I decided do not use the keys from F to H, as user can't see what variables are associated to them directly.
Instead, I make two sequences of menu. Beyond this, you can mix with a - e (shift keys). This gives you, in principle, 20 variables!

Let's study a simple caller programm:
I need to solve four problems:
First one: magnetic flux
φ = B.A --> φ - B.A = 0
φ = Fmm/R --> φ - Fmm/R =0 , let's make just one equation for both functions:
φ - B.A+Fmm/R = 0

But we can't have φ, B.A and Fmm at same time.
If we will calculate φ, only B.A or Fmm can be given; if we calculate B, only one of φ or Fmm, and so on.
So, an XOR on three combining two of them giving the another!!! And you don't know which one will be asked to be solved for!
Also, R can't be equals to 0: R<>0

Second one: permeability
u = B / H
ur = u/u0 --> u = ur.uo
(u + uo.ur) - B/H = 0
Same restrictions: XOR (u, uo.ur, B); H <> 0

Third one: relutance
R = L/(u.A)
ur = u/uo => u = ur.uo (relative permeability and absolute - uo is a constant)
R - L/(u+uo.ur).A = 0 (problems usually have ur, but...)
Again, XOR(R, u, uo.ur) A <> 0

The fourth one: magnetic field
H = N*I/L
Fmm = N*I
Let's put in order...
H - (Fmm+NI)/L = 0
XOR(H,Fmm, N*I). L <> 0.

Next post I'll present the variables/keys to these formulas (my wife wants to go window shopping now ...)

Have you seen, Bill, as the problem is bigger and we can't waste memory repeating so many menus?

See you soon!!
