4.5.3 The formula editor

The formula editor is used to enter the formulas for the result calcu-

lations

. The formula editor has an automatic syntax check, which is

triggered when the formula is accepted. The priority rules which are

normally valid apply to the calculation operations.

The result variable is shown in front of the input field. Buttons are

available for entering numbers, mathematical operators and variables.

The backspace key [] deletes the character in front of the cursor.

[Delete entry]

will delete the whole formula. You can position the

cursor within the formula by using the arrow keys. The maximum for-

mula length is 100 characters.
You can use [Variables] to open selection lists for all the variables

which are available. By selecting the variable from the list you can avoid

syntax errors. If the method sequence contains several titrations, meas-

urements or evaluations before the calculation then a selection list con-

taining the corresponding commands will first be opened.

You can use [Select] to open the list of variables for the selected titra-

tion, measurement or evaluation. For example, if you select a titration in

the DET mode, the list of variables will look like this:
