HELP
An object that outputs a constant Coord
Scalar or Array 1D.

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

LOCATION
Data ==> Constant ==> Coord

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 Coord is configured
to be an array.  The Default Value input pin,
however, requires its input container to
match the shape of the Coord.

Coords can contain more than two fields.
For example, a Coord with three fields is (x,
y, z).

The mathematic operations on Coords
operate on the dependent variable only, that
is, they operate on the y value of the (x, y)
pair.

EXAMPLE
A Coord Array 1D can be used to define
bounding envelopes on waveforms and as input
to Comparators for waveforms.  Use an Array
1D of Coords to define the limiting points on
the bounding waveform.  The limiting points
are the endpoints of line segments that
define the limiting waveform shape.  Then
send this array through the Build Arb
Waveform box to create a limiting waveform.
The new bounding waveform can be used in the
Comparator box as one of the inputs to
generate the points that fall outside the
bounding waveform.

You can use the bounding waveform in the
clipUpper or clipLower function to clip the
waveform to the bounding limits.
