====== Set Pipeline Parameter From For Loop ======

Create a pipeline parameter to mimic a traditional for loop.

Traditional for loops are numerical representations, such as:

For i=1 to 10 step1
Visual3D's For_Each loop are string entries that are specified explicitly by the user.

This command creates a string expression.

==== Integer loop ====

**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_From_For_Loop**
/PARAMETER_NAME=INT_VALUES
/PARAMETER_INDEX_START=1
/PARAMETER_INDEX_END=10
/PARAMETER_INDEX_STEP=1
/PARAMETER_INDEX_TYPE=INTEGER
**;**
on execution the results are

INT_VALUES = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10
\\


==== Float loop ====

**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_From_For_Loop**
/PARAMETER_NAME=FLOAT_VALUES
/PARAMETER_INDEX_START=0
/PARAMETER_INDEX_END=5
/PARAMETER_INDEX_STEP=0.5
/PARAMETER_INDEX_TYPE=FLOAT
**;**
FLOAT_VALUES = 0.000000+0.500000+1.000000+1.500000+2.000000+2.500000+3.000000+3.500000+4.000000+4.500000+5.000000

==== Expressions ====

The start, end and step parameters will accept expressions.

Create 3 global metric signals:

Metric_Explicit
/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=GLOBAL::START
/RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=COUNTER
/METRIC_VALUE=0
**;**
Metric_Explicit
/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=GLOBAL::END
RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=COUNTER
/METRIC_VALUE=5
**;**
Metric_Explicit
/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=GLOBAL::STEP
/RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=COUNTER
/METRIC_VALUE=1
**;**
**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_From_For_Loop**
/PARAMETER_NAME=FLOAT_VALS
/PARAMETER_INDEX_START=GLOBAL::METRIC::COUNTER::START
/PARAMETER_INDEX_END=GLOBAL::METRIC::COUNTER::END
/PARAMETER_INDEX_STEP=GLOBAL::METRIC::COUNTER::STEP
/PARAMETER_INDEX_TYPE=FLOAT
**;**
FLOAT_VALS = 0.000000+1.000000+2.000000+3.000000+4.000000+5.000000
