Chapter 4
Defining Formulas
4–3
To avoid losing the use of particular window or gage outputs or results,
when defining formulas, select formula numbers which do not correspond to
any gages or windows you have previously defined (see Table 4.A, page
4–3), or that you intend to define. Or, define a formula to provide the result
value for a tool for which there is a conflict (see “Operands” in this chapter).
Otherwise, during setup of gages and windows, select gage and window
numbers that will not conflict with the formulas you intend use. One way to
do this is to select only gages numbered from 33–64, or windows numbered
from 25–48, which are not affected by the use of formulas.
Use Copy and Paste functions: If you define a formula that turns out to
correspond to a gage or window whose output or results block information
you wish to use, you can copy that formula to another formula number that
does not conflict (see “Using Copy and Paste” on page 4–39).
See Appendix A for communications information: Appendix A provides
more information on the specific effects that using formulas has on the
results blocks, on the configuration blocks, and on the discrete input bits.

Selecting the Formula Number(s)
There are two ways to select the formula number:
•
Use the Previous / Next boxes to decrement / increment the formula
number, until the desired number appears (see Figure 4.1, page 4–2).
•
Use the Jump box to enter the desired formula number directly (see
Figure 4.2, page 4–4).
