Process Purpose

 

The Random process is used to randomly generate a number within a defined range. The result is stored in a variable.

 

 

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the Random process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

 

 

Proceed as follows:

 

Range

Lower

Define a lower value for the range.

Upper

Define an upper value for the range.

Store Result into Variable

Variable

Click and select the variable that will receive the generated value of the operation. See To Select/Create a Variable.

 

If required, use the icon on the upper right corner of the properties window:

 

Use the icon to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

 

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

 

 

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

 

Use the right click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access certain features regarding the input box's option as well as general actions such as "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search".

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with the "Search..."and "Variable Select" options.

If you right-click another input box, it will provide other possibilities.
