Super Data Operations Manual

Function Sources

Function Sources are a Data Value source which can mathematically manipulate existing Data Values or hard-coded
values. A Function Source has a different Property Edit screen than any other object:

Properties

Function Name - The Name property makes the object easier for the RealEdit programmer to identify. Often it is a
good idea to use the same name for related objects, such as a Data Value that represents a Constant.

Function String - This is defined by selecting the desired operator or constant from Available Functions, filling in
appropriate hard-coded numeric values and/or double clicking the proper Data Values from Available Data Values to
perform the calculation. A brief description of the functions follows:

NOT: Performs logical negation on an expression
^: exponential
*: multiply
/: divide
\: Used to divide two numbers and return an integer result
MOD: Divides two numbers and returns only the remainder
+: add
-: subtract
=: is equal
<: is less than
<=: is less than or equal to
>: is greater than
>=: is greater than or equal to
<>: is not equal
