Calculated Input and Output Resources
About Calculated Input and Output Resources
Use this chapter as a reference when creating calculated inputs and outputs for your system. It provides
information on the following:
• Creating calculated input and output channels
• Defining calculated input and output formulas with the Calculation Editor
• Examples of typical calculated input/output applications
License requirements
Calculated inputs outputs are optional features, each requiring a separate license.
To create calculated inputs and outputs
See information about the Station Builder application for information about creating calculated input and
outputs.
Warning:
Loss of system control and unexpected actuator movement can result from editing calculated
channel equations.
Unexpected high-force actuator motion and loss of system control can cause injury to personnel
and damage to equipment and specimens.
Do not attempt to edit calculated equations unless you fully understand calculated channel
concepts, the channel relationships in your system, and the result that making changes will have
to your system. Extreme caution is necessary and severe risks are involved. For final testing of
calculated equation changes, use a dummy specimen that is of no value to you.
