Calculation Block

Purpose

The Calculation (CA) block performs simple mathematical calculations on the value passed by the upstream block and up to seven other constants or block values.

NOTE: The precision of calculations is fifteen digits. Round-off errors can occur in the sixteenth digit.

Features

The Calculation block:

• Is a secondary block.
• Accepts the output values and fields of other blocks.
• Accepts floating point, integer, or exponential constants.
• Can be used in a chain with time-based or exception-based processing. Note that if any of the inputs (from B - H) are exception-based, the Calculation block will not trigger when any of these change.
