We tend to call them "rubber constants". They've got to have the pragma Volatile applied to them and you've got to be able to plug them in the embedded system so you can see what it does. In my current hypothetical app, this might not be a problem since it is looking at mostly doing testing of logic rather than tuning of constants, but I'd prefer to be able to zap anything in "data" space.
