thank you , David
i have tried to add the line you said,but it doesn't work

sorry for making a mistake in express my question,in fact,i just wanna
know
lambda = Varray (min(filter_w), max(filter_w), 1000.)
what the programer wanna get by this line in the quote

i checked the window for variable，both the VARRAY & LAMBDA are
undefined....
