Re: dividing by zero

["The Omega Man" <editorial@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try this, hard-charger:


Input: length(13),XAVlen(3);

Var: DMIMin(1);


DMIMin = DMIMinus(Length);
If DMIMin = 0 then DMIMin = .001;

Plot1(XAverage(DMIPlus(LENGTH)/DMIMin,XAVlen),"Plot1");
Plot2(0, "Zero");

IF CheckAlert Then Begin
    IF Plot1 Crosses Above Plot2 or Plot1 Crosses Below Plot2 Then Alert =
TRUE;
End;
