Defining Formulas

Formula name copied: The formula name is copied as well as the formula
contents. When you copy a formula, you may want to change the name of
the formula at the destination, or at the source, as appropriate.
Name and contents copied: Only the formula contents and formula name
are copied; the range limits and output assignment(s) are not copied.
Copying an undefined formula: If you copy an undefined formula (one
which has no contents currently entered), when you paste the formula to a
formula which has already been defined, you will delete the destination
formula, and this message will be displayed:
Example
Copy
and
Paste
To copy the contents of formula 1 to formula 2, you would do the following:
•
Pick the
Previous
or
Next
boxes, or use the
Jump
box, as required to
select formula 1.
•
Pick the
Copy
box to select formula 1 as the source. The
Paste
box will
display the number of the source formula – in this case, the box reads
Paste
1, for formula 1 (see Figure 4.21, page 4–40).
•
Pick the
Next
box to select the destination formula – formula 2.
•
Pick the
Paste
box to place the source formula contents into the
destination formula.
The
Paste
box retains the source formula listing (
1,
in this case) until you
use the copy box to select another source formula. The source formula
designation is updated if and when you select a different source formula.
Once you have defined a formula’s contents, and have enabled the formula,
you can set range limits and assign outputs for the formula. The usage and
function of range limits and output line assignment for a formula are
identical to that of inspection gages and windows (see also the chapter on
range limits and output lines in the Color CVIM User’s Manual).
The term range limit refers to the tolerance limits you set for the formula
results. You can specify
High
and
Low
FAULT RANGE
limits, and/or the
High
and
Low
WARNING RANGE
limits, for the formula results.
