7.5.4.0 Calculation Functions

The functions available in the Calculation Editor are tools for calculating the value of a variable. The functions
support computations using arithmetic, logic, and test variables.

The functions can be grouped in three categories:

Functions that require one or more arguments be passed to them

Functions that operate directly on an operand

Functions that do not require any arguments such as Pi()

Operators

Functions that operate directly on an operand are referred to as operators. When an operator is added to a
calculation, it acts directly on the operands to its left and right by assigning a value, performing a comparison,
or performing a mathematical calculation.
