Re: [eclipse-users] Use of max with ic_probing_for_scheduling

Sorry about that.  The ex3 example does work.  
 
I was trying to rewrite ex3 to use probe_cstr_sched, but it looks like max can't be used directly with probe_cstr_sched.  Instead you have to write the max using linear constraints.
Is this correct?David
