Property
No.
•
If the data is being processed in a point-by-point manner,
only dependent array calculations are included.
•
If the data is being processed block-by-block, all dependent
calculations are added.
To edit one of the Additional Variable Calculations, right-click
on the variable and select Edit Variable. To add a variable,
right-click and select Add Variable.

•
Signal-Dependant Variables—Shows the variables that
have a calculation that is based on a variable that is
mapped to signal data. In most instances, this option lists
the appropriate variables.
•
Calculated Variables—Shows all the variables that have
a calculation.
•
All Variables—Shows all variables, including variables
that do not have a calculation.
When click the Add a new item icon (green plus sign) and add
a variable to this list, the Data Acquisition activity stores the

variable value, along with the acquired data, for each data
block. This is necessary if you have additional variable
calculations that include independent variables (that are not
part of acquired data) whose values may change during the
test. Saving these variable values along with the other block
data makes them available for reports and post-test analysis.
For example, a Data Acquisition activity saves acquired data
to variables V1 and V2 and performs the following additional
variable calculation:
C1 = V1 + V2 + V3
where V3 is a variable that changes during the test and is not
acquired data. In this example, you should add V3 to the Save
Variables list so that its value is saved with each data block
making it available for post-test analysis.
To remove an item from this list, select the item and click the
Remove icon (red minus sign).
