Formula construction example
The exact steps required to construct or edit formulas are unique to
each formula, and more generally to the measurements required for
each part. It would be impossible to present a single set of instructions
that adequately cover the topic. Instead, what follows is a generic
guide to formula editing and construction in the form of an example.
More specific instructions and examples regarding the use of formula
constants, channel, dimension and other functions are provided later
in this chapter.
The four steps required to construct a formula are:
The following example will use the default Formula setup screen to
construct a formula that calculates the perimeter of a rectangular block
from the measurement of two sides.
The general form of the formula necessary to calculate the perimeter
of a rectangular block is:
„ Perimeter = 2 (side + end)
The specific formula that will be constructed in the Formula setup
screen is:
„ P=2*(C1+C2)
