Constants

In many input fields of Lobster_data, constants can be used, which are then replaced by specific values at runtime.

Types of Constants

Two different types of constants can be distinguished.

Accessing Constants

Both types of constants can, for example, be selected from a list (accessible via the context menu) in order to assign a parameter to a function.

In general, a constant can be used within a Lobster_data profile wherever a variable is allowed in the @VAR_NAME@ syntax.

The constant is referenced with syntax %CONST_NAME% (for system constants) or %VALUE% (for profile constant, because those do not have names).
