# Variables

1) User variables

Defined by user. The type of a variable is determined when a value (integer or string) is assigned to it for the first time. Once the type of the variable is determined, values of a different type cannot be assigned to it.

2) System variables

Each system variable has a predefined type and value. Used with particular commands.

- *1 When MACRO program is started, the first parameter(macro filename) is stored into param1 and params[1]. From the second to the nineth parameters are stored into from param2 to param9, and from params[2] to params[9]. The tenth or later parameter is stored into params[10] or later. Please refer to Command line.
- *2 Precision is about 50 msec.
