Function CT – allocate times with CTU, CTB, CTW

For converting constants (or other variables) that are used in the formula definition into other times, the user has two options:

Definition of the constant as parameter with the type K (German: Konstante = English: Constant) in the parameter list. By specifying the time type, the value can now be set to any desired time.

Allocation of the value of the constant in the formula definition into another time with the function CTU.

Note:

The function CTU can be used to allocate the constants applied directly in the formula definition to times other than ttu. CTU is only allowed in time formulas.

Syntax:        CTU(M;K)

Parameter:

 M        Mode

 K        Constant

Description: The function CTU determines in which time(s) the ttu value K is entered based on the mode:

The argument of the function CTU can also be a time element or a formula. In this case the ttu of the element or the formula will be allocated to the time determined in the first argument of CTU.

The handling of the functions CTB and CTW is analogous for ttb and tw.
