Using the Sequence Math & Logic Tool Input/Output Properties

The symbolic names of the tool properties cannot be modified, and are prefaced by the tool's Name parameter when used in external communications (i.e. "Blobs_1.Boundary" for a Blobs (1-10) Location Tool's Boundary Input parameter).

There are four Data Types: Action (A), Floating Point (FP), Integer (I) and String (S).

• Action: Refers to an Input parameter that forces an action, such as a region or button (i.e., the Train Font button in the Settings pane of the Read Text Identification Tool).
• Floating Point: Refers to a floating-point value (i.e., 335.264, which is the floating-point Fixture.X Output result of a Pattern Location Tool).
• Integer: Refers to an integer value (i.e., 4, which is the integer value used to set the Number to Find Input parameter of a Blobs (1-10) Location Tool).
• String: Refers to a string value (i.e., (857.9,666.6) diameter = 144.4, which is the string Result Output result of a Circle Location Tool).
