Variable

The variable with the same number as the value stored in the given variable will be operated on.

For example, if variable no. 2 is specified which contains “5” at the time the command is processed, variable no. 5 will become the target of this command.

The variable to be used can be specified by clicking the [...] button to open the [Variables] window, from which the number of the variable can be chosen.

·Under [Operation], choose one of the following operations to perform on the variable specified in [Variable].

Set	Sets the variable's value to the value specified as the operand.
Add	Adds the operand value to the variable's original value and stores it in the variable.
Subtract	Subtracts the operand value from the variable's original value and stores it in the variable.
Multiply	Multiplies the operand value by the variable's original value and stores it in the variable.
Divide	Divides the variable's original value by the operand and stores it in the variable.
Modulus	Divides the variable's original value by the operand and stores the remainder in the variable.

·Under [Operand], specify the value to use in the variable calculation using one of the following methods.

Constant	Uses the given constant value.
Variable	The value stored in the given variable will be used. For example, if variable no. 5 is specified which contains “2” at the time the command is processed, 2 will be used. The variable to be used can be specified by clicking the [...] button to open the [Variables] window, from which the number of the variable can be chosen.
Variable ID (Number of the Variable)	Refers to the value in the specified variable and uses the variable that corresponds to that value. For example, if variable no. 5 is specified which contains “2” at the time the command is processed, variable no. 2's value will be used. The variable to be used can be specified by clicking the [...] button to open the [Variables] window, from which the number of the variable can be chosen.
