DataMathObject
The DataMathObject plug-in performs mathematical calculations with DataPool objects and variables and writes the result to a specified result.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> Data
Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.
DataMathObject Properties
-
Field Name: Defines the first argument for the mathematical operation. This argument is a DataPool variable or a DataPool Object.
-
Second Argument: Defines the second argument used for the mathematical operation. The order of the arguments in the mathematical expression is defined in the Operation Order argument.
-
Second Argument Scope: Defines the scope of the second argument, i.e. whether the argument is a local variable (part of an object) or a global DataPool variable.
-
Result: Defines the DataField that receives the result of the mathematical operation.
-
Result Scope: Defines the scope of the result, i.e. whether the argument is a local variable (part of an object) or a global DataPool variable.
-
Operation Type: Defines type of operation to perform. According to the selected operation type, a list of operations are displayed. The selected operator is used in the mathematical expression.
-
Operation Order: Defines the order of the arguments in the mathematical expression.
-
Decimal Places: Determines the number of decimal places for the result of the operation.
Notes
-
If the operation is unitary, only argument1 is used.
-
Only the Field Name parameter triggers the DataMathObject plug-in and the result is calculated.
-
If one of the variables is not defined it is ignored (it is not created automatically like in other DataPool plug-ins).
