Extended math functions – Standard Square root-function: Math-channel delivers the square root of SQRT(X9) channel 9 value. Also available: SIN(), COS(), TAN(), EXP(), ABS(), LOG(), a.s.o.
Extended math functions – Compare Greater-than-function: Math-channel delivers 12,5 if value of channel 1 is greater than value of channel 2, otherwise it delivers value of channel 5. Equal-function: Math-channel delivers 12,5 if value of channel 1 is greater than value of channel 2, otherwise it delivers value of channel 5.
Extended math functions – Logical AND-function: Math-channel delivers 1 if results of mathematical calculation in channel 11 (M11) and channel 12 (M12) are unequal (All values unequal to zero are treated as logical 1!) zero. Also available: OR, XOR, NOT
Extended math functions – Moving average SM-function: Math-channel delivers the mean value of all values of channel 8 collected in the last 60 seconds.
Extended math functions – Special MIN-function: Math-channel delivers the minimum value of channel 1 or channel 2 Also available: ITG(), MEAN(), MAX(), IDxxU(X,n), SDxxU(X,n) FRAC-function: Math-channel delivers the position after the decimal point of channel 1
Extended math functions – Integrations Summation -function: Math-channel adds up the values of channel 10 for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds IN30S(X10) the value of the MATH-channel is set to zero again.

Extended math functions – User functions 2 Function call in the MATH-line of the project configuration: F1(X7,X8) F1: It is used user function 001 from the selected user functions file. X7: Raw value of channel 7 is assigned to character A in the formula ( A+B+SIN(A)+COS(B) ). X8: Raw value of channel 7 is assigned to character B in the formula ( A+B+SIN(A)+COS(B) ).
Extended math functions – Polynomials 1 Select polynomial number: This number is used in the project configuration later (P1, P2, a.s.o.). Add a describing comment to the user function. Select kind of polynomial type: This example: Power 2 based on 4 X-Y-pairs
Extended math functions – Polynomials 1 Click Display to show the resulting polynomial function The algorithm is based on the Least Square method and tries to find best possible fitting of sample points.
Extended math functions – Polynomials 2 Function call in the MATH-line of the project configuration: P2: It is used polynomial 001 from the selected polynomial file. X1: Raw value of channel 1 is assigned to character X in the formula P001 ( X^2 ) (best fit)
Extended math functions – Polynomials 3 This example: Polynomial 5*X^3-7*X^2-2*+6 Based on coefficients.
Extended math functions – Polynomials 4 Function call in the MATH-line of the project configuration: P2: It is used polynomial 002 from the selected polynomial file. X1: Raw value of channel 1 is assigned to character X in the formula (5*X^3-7*X^2-2*X+6 )

Extended alarm functions – Types There are up to 11 different types of alarms: High alarm H Low alarm L Differential high alarm DH Differential low alarm DL Differential high saved alarm DHS Differential low saved alarm DLS Error ERR Overflow OFL Underflow UFL High & Overflow H+OFL Low & Underflow L+UFL
Extended alarm functions – Extended Delay Reference channel Delay time Event condition Restart delay timer on event Enable / disable extended alarm delay Possibility to delay or suspend an alarm depending on the value of another channel.
Extended alarm functions – Options Setup since when an occurring alarm is valid. The alarm is active again when the limit exceeding is still valid and the alarm was already acknowledged. The alarm obtains still valid and active although the channel data switches invalid
Extended alarm functions Check connected hardware on external alarms Use dynamic alarm file as limit for this channel / level
