HELP
An object that outputs constant Complex
scalars or an Array 1D.

USE
Use Complex to set a Complex Constant or to
get user input.  To input an array, press tab
to enter the next value.

LOCATION
Data ==> Constant ==> Complex

EXAMPLE
To use Complex as a prompt on a panel, change
the name of the Complex object to a prompt
such as Enter the AC voltage:.  The user
fills in the requested information in the
entry field.

Type in (2,10/27) to have the Complex
constant evaluate the formula and display the
answer.

OBJECT MENU
* Auto Execute - If set, the object operates
whenever the values in the field are edited.

* Config - Sets the initial number of values
to be output with this object.  A value of 0
sets the container to a scalar, otherwise the
container is an array of the length given.

* Initialize ==> - Used to set this object to a
particular value at PreRun and/or Activate
time.

  * Initial Value - A dialog box that
specifies the value to be set.  Default value
is the zero value of that container type.

  * Initialize At PreRun - Whether to set the
Initial Value at PreRun time.  Default is
off.

  * Initialize At Activate - Whether to set
the Initial Value at Activate time.  Default
is off.

* Number Formats - Specifies a different
display format.

NOTES
Initialize is most often used for
initializing values inside a UserObject.

The other method for setting initial
values is the Default Value control pin.  The
Default Value pin allows you to
programmatically change the current value.

Note that the Initial Value field is
always a scalar, even if Complex is
configured to be an array.  The Default Value
input pin, however, requires its input
container to match the shape of the Complex.

You can enter just the Real and Imaginary
values, separate them with a comma, and
HP VEE formats for you.
