Calculated Variables Overview

Most variable types allow you to define calculations that determine the value of the variable. The calculation
can include operations, functions, and references to other variables. The result of the calculation must

Important:

When using calculated variables in a non-data acquisition test activity, you must add a Calculated
Variables
activity to the test procedure to force the application to perform the calculation.
