Calculation waveform
An example of a calculation waveform is shown in
named CALC1, but can be any name that is not already used in the Scratch Pad.
The calculation (add, subtract, multiple or divide) performs the selected math operation on two
selected Scratch Pad waveforms. In
After selecting the two waveforms and the math operation, click Preview to display the result of
the calculation. Clicking Ok places the waveform in the Scratch Pad.
