7.5.4.0 Calculation Functions
The functions available in the Calculation Editor are tools for calculating the value of a variable. The functions
support computations using arithmetic, logic, and test variables.
The functions can be grouped in three categories:
• Functions that require one or more arguments be passed to them
• Functions that operate directly on an operand
• Functions that do not require any arguments such as Pi()
Operators
Functions that operate directly on an operand are referred to as operators. When an operator is added to a
calculation, it acts directly on the operands to its left and right by assigning a value, performing a comparison,
or performing a mathematical calculation.
