5.13 Formula Builder Tool The Formula Builder tool lets you construct arithmetic expressions us- ing your coefficients. The Formula Builder features an expression box where you enter the formula you want to use to calculate a new result using arithmetic, logarithmic or trigonometric functions.
NOTE You must use the numeric keypad on the Formula Builder Data Definition menu when you enter numeric values, e.g. when you enter the “4” to find the average of the four Lmax coefficients in the example.
Formula Builder operators are: Arithmetic
Trigonometric
Logarithmic
Add (+)
Sine (Sin)
Log (log)
Subtract (-) Multiple (x)
Cosine (Cos) Tangent (Tan)
Natural Log (Ln)
Divide ( ÷ ) Absolute (abs) Exponent (^) Square Root ( √ )
The example shows a peel test. The Max Tool was used to measure four specific peaks. Their Lmax coefficients are shown on the markers and in the Data view table.
Using the Formula Builder tool, you select each coefficient using the Data table header.
Start by selecting the open parenthesis symbol, then select each Lmax coefficient, followed by the closed parenthesis symbol, followed by the division symbol, followed by entering the numeric “4” using the Formula Builder key set. The result coefficient for a formula = F.
