Giovanni De Morais Teixeira

Have you assigned values to REV and PI before using them in the expression?

And what kind of error are you getting?

Filippo Cianetti

REV=

PI=ACOS(-1)

w = REV * 2* PI/60

Chitaranjan Pany

see the file attached.

I think before writing the varable in expression, you first define the variable.
