Newbie Question; what am I missing here?

[noop]

Vin:=5.0
Vout:=3.3

D:=.5 a guess

Given
Vout = Vin.D (the dot here is realy a multiply)

D:=Find(D)

D= (there is a place holder after the =)

My question is: Why doesn't D=0.66???

 

[IRstuff]

The "equation(s)" after the given must be entered using [ctrl]+=, i.e., a control-enter, which normally appears as a bolded equal sign.

I did that for the equation Vout = D*Vin

 

[noop]

Still doesn't work :-( try it

 

[GregLocock]

works perfectly for me.

There must be something wrong with your typing, the error message should not be a placeholder.

did you type D=, not D:

as your last line?

Thanks Greg!

That was it, I had typed Cntl+= for that last =

Interesting there are are at least three versions of "=" then:

type: =
type: :
type: cntl + = (control =)

This is all explained in the manual as well as the help files.

:= is the assignment operator
= is the result operator
[crtl]= is the constraint operator
