Overview

The () icon allows to insert an equation bloc into the workspace. Click on the () icon then anywhere in the workspace, drag the mouse to delimit the bloc.

This component can output one data only, with a user defined formula. A set of X equations needs X Equation blocs.

Configuration

  • Data ID: ID of the output data (must not contain special caracters)
  • Name: Name of the output data (will appear in the differents controls data listing)
  • Unit: Unit of the output data (need to be specified in order to access automatic conversion in controls)
  • Type: Type of the output data, can be Real, Complex or a String
  • Levels: Level of the data
  • Listed: If unchecked, the data will not be available in other controls.
  • Show Level: Shares the level information with the other controls (can be displayed in the legend of the graphs for example)

Equation Editor

  • Expression: This is the main part of the component, where the equation has to be written. As mentionned before, only one variable can be outputed, but multiple lines can be written (if it is the case, the output variable will be the one declared on the last line).
  • Available Data: Here is listed all the data present in the Source that can be used to compute, a double-click automatically insert them in the Expression as well as typing it directly.
    Note: Data beginning with the '#' symbol are data that comes from the measurement setup, visible in some others control as Variable.
