Examples

[The following assumes this file has already been opened (“<acar_shared>/driver_controls.tbl/constant_radius_cornering.dcf”).] 
 
Function
READ_T_O_INTEGER(“EXPERIMENT”, “INITIAL_GEAR”)
Result
3
 
Function
READ_T_O_INTEGER(“EXPERIMENT”, “INITIAL_SPEED”)
Result
16
This call returns the integer representing the “INITIAL_SPEED”. Note that in this case, READ_T_O_REAL is a better choice.
 
Function
READ_T_O_INTEGER(“EXPERIMENT”, “EXPERIMENT_NAME”)
