Formula

Calculator Window

From File

Explorer Window

The Formula type allows defining the component by means of a
mathematical expression.

The component is edited by using the Formula Editor window that can be
activated by clicking the Edit Formula button. The mathematical expression
can be a function of time or a function of samples by using the t or x
variables, respectively.

The software verifies, in run time, that the component to be edited does
not exceed the limits for the selected output and that the formula syntax is
correct. In case of error, an error indication is shown in the Error message
indicator.
