•
Enter the desired formula name, by picking the appropriate keys on the
keyboard (see Chapter 5 in the Color CVIM User’s Manual for more
keyboard usage information). Pick
Ret when the name is entered as
desired. When you do, this message appears:
Name restrictions: Names can contain up to seven characters, including
spaces. Any additional characters entered are truncated from the right.
Once you have defined a formula’s contents, you must then enable the
formula, in order for the formula to function as part of the configuration, and
in order to set range limits and assign outputs for the formula.
Define formula first: The Formula #: Disabled box for a selected formula
is itself disabled until the formula has been defined. Thus you cannot enable
a formula until you first define it (see “Defining a Formula” in this chapter).
To enable a formula:
•
Pick the Formula #: Disabled box on the Config. Results menu (see
Figure 4.20).
