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).
