Question:
During compilation of a DDS project the following error message appears: 'Variable '_TIME...' not declared'. What action has to be taken?
Answer:
The variable '_time<step name>' is an implicit variable of sequence language SL, via which the active duration of the step can be requested.
The request only works if for the step being requested a minimum time of T#0ms, for example, has been set in the step attributes. Otherwise the error message 'Variable '_TIME...' not declared' appears during compilation of the project.
To set the minimum step time select the appropriate step and open menu item Extras-Step Attributes. Enter a minimum time in dialog box Step Attributes.
