This dialog box enables you to edit the details for a calculated measurement. A calculated measurement is calculated from up to five other measurements, using an equation.

Fields A to E.  These fields enable you to select up to five measurements (raw or calculated) which are to be used in a calculated measurement. If you require less than five input measurements, unused measurements should be left blank.

Equation.  Here you enter the equation that explains how to calculate this measurement from the input measurements. The input measurements are  represented by A,B,C,D and E. For example, to calculate the power output from a boiler, the input measurements might be

A = inlet temperature

B = outlet temperature

C = flow rate

 

and the equation would be

(A-B) * C * 4120

See the Equation Notation topic for more information.

Options.  Set the options (units, range etc) for this measurement from Parameter options.
