i'm confused. my understanding is as follows

1. there is an array pf sc.Sungraph[] strutures each organized as follows (index j= 0..59)
sc.Sungraph[j].Data[0..index-1]
sc.Sungraph[j].Arrays[0..11][0..index-1]


correct: ??

-----------------------------------------------------

2. for given Subgraph .... can more Data array(s) be added to the single Data array

??

-----------------------------------------------------

3. for given Subgraph .... can more Data Arrays be added (on top of existing 12 ons)

??

----------------------------------------------------

4. in reference w/ sc.NumberOfArrays :
(1) what does it represent ?
(2) as sc.NumberOfArrays is read only (thus user can't set it) - which event causes its value to change ?


----------------------------------------------

5. pls see the attached file
does its content correctly describe the subgraph arrays model

1. Yes.

2. No.

3. No.

4. All of this is fully documented here:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.NumberOfArrays

5. Yes it does.

sorry ... but yr answer depicts the documentation inacuracy

here i explain /// pls follow and in case i'm right please correct whereever required

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i asked
>>>2. for given Subgraph .... can more Data array(s) be added to the single Data array

yr answer was
>>> no

so the conclusion is that every subgraph provides a single Data[] array

NOW ... lets see documentation's text on the sc.NumberOfArrays at the bellow URL:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.NumberOfArrays

>>>>> QUOTE
Read-only integer variable.

Initial value: 1

sc.NumberOfArrays is the number of sc.Subgraph[].Data[] arrays that are allocated for the study to use.

sc.NumberOfArrays gets set automatically as the study function uses the sc.Subgraph[].Data[] arrays.

>>>>> END OF QOUTE

how come "number of sc.Subgraph[].Data[] arrays"
as we know that there is asingle Data[] array to each graph ?
this means that the right definitions is total number of subraphs (at given study) where Data[] arrays are allocated

documentation's phrasing is not precise and software developers MUST have it precise (rather guessing and manage trial & error fixing)
to understand what APIs are doing behind the scene

pls confirm my understanding - appreciate if you fix the documentation phrasing whereever required

This particular ACSIL members is older and really has no useful purpose with ACSIL. So none of this discussion really has any relevancy. We looked at the the documentation again and it is clear, but we did add 2 clarifying sentences.

This matter is considered closed and we do not want to hear about it again because it is simply not relevant.

as a new one to ACS i traet every object/topic equally
how can i know which one is older and really has no useful ?
documentaion doesn't make any clue

tnx

have no idea whether you have noticed that the reader (i.e. me) can interpret yr answer as an aggressive one
i believe more precise documentation will avoid many of my questions
pls avoid such comments ... tnx.

p.s. if i were in yr position i would have thanked people asking questions as it helps Sierra
w/ improving the documentation

If something is unnecessarily taking our time it is important for us to let the user know. Please understand the time on the support board takes away time from the development which benefits all users. We have to set our priorities.
