[mcstas-users] definition parameters - version 3.1

[Santiago Gómez]

Dear Peter and Erik, thank your for the detailed answer!

I think I can modify my code in the way you explain, at least for the most
of the cases. For some other cases, I will have to modify other part of my
code becouse I use the definition parameter into senteces like
#if/#elif/#endif.

I see that i will have to modify the DECLARE section too, as is detailed in
the instructions.

The more complicated part will be changing the #if/#elif/#endif parts
(where I also do new #defines depending on the case).

I will let you know how I am going with that, or if I need more help :)


Regards

Santiago
