Mel$slot

Hi Guys,
I have a question about the MEL$SOLT command!
Does anyone here work with this command?
and does someone have an explanation of what to do?

In the Quindos help file it says, Two circles have to be probed in sequence.
but that doesn't work, I only get an error message.

The MEL$SLOT command is essentially a slot element that is constructed from two circles. You can either measure the circles or use existing circle elements as inputs. The command should look something like the examples below once all boxes are populated...

To measure two circles then construct and evaluate the slot only

MEL$SLOT        (NAM=SLOT(1), TYP=DIS, CSY=REFR$CSY, MOD=EVA, CPY=DEF$SLT2, EL1=CIRCLE(1), TY1=CIR, MD1=NOE, EL2=CIRCLE(1), TY2=CIR, MD2=NOE, CNN=DIS, DMO=MAX, DEL=N, ZER=3)

To measure and evaluate two circles then also construct and evaluate the slot

MEL$SLOT        (NAM=SLOT(1), TYP=DIS, CSY=REFR$CSY, MOD=EVA, CPY=DEF$SLT2, EL1=CIRCLE(1), TY1=CIR, MD1=(MEAS,CALC,EVAL), EL2=CIRCLE(1), TY2=CIR, MD2=(MEAS,CALC,EVAL), CNN=DIS, DMO=MAX, DEL=N, ZER=3)

To construct the slot from two, previously measured circles

MEL$SLOT        (NAM=SLOT(1), TYP=DIS, CSY=REFR$CSY, MOD=EVA, CPY=DEF$SLT2, EL1=CIRCLE(1), TY1=CIR, MD1=NOA, EL2=CIRCLE(1), TY2=CIR, MD2=NOA, CNN=DIS, DMO=MAX, DEL=N, ZER=3)

Thank you
I'll test that tomorrow.
