Entry fields to define or edit a calculated signal
To define a calculated signal, drag and drop any input signal from the
Variable Explorer or an instrument or an existing calculated signal into

List of all mathematical operators
When defining a calculated signal, you can select a mathematical oper-
ator in this list and move it into the formula definition field on the right
side of the editor. Alternatively, you can type the desired operation name
or symbol directly into the formula definition field.
More information about the mathematical operators
When you select a mathematical operator in the list above, this field dis-
plays additional information about the meaning and usage of the oper-
ator.
The same detailed information is shown in the Formula Definition field,
when hovering in edit mode with the mouse onto the function name.
Note
Calculated signals imported from MDA V7 may behave slightly differently in
MDA V8. For more information, see "Import Calculated Signals from XDA
Files: Differences between MDA V7 and MDA V8 " on page 132.
