Appendix C - Calculated Channels Examples

The Calculated Channels functionality allows the user to create channels based on existing channels.

A number of functions are made available for use in the calculation. Some examples are provided here.

 

Basic arithmetic

C1 + 273.15

 

Boolean logic

returns 0.0 if false, 1.0 if true

C1 > 10

 

Booleans can also be used like a value

(C1 > 10) * 100.0

 

Trigonometric functions

Sqr(C1 * C1)

Sin(C1)

Cos(C1)

Tan(C1)

ATan2(C1, C2)

 

Rounding function

Round([value], [decimal places)

Round(C1, 2)

 

If/Else function

If ([Condition], [IfTrue], [IfFalse])

If(C1 == null, C2, C1)

If(C1 < 0, 0, C1)

If(C1 > C2, C1 - C2, C2 - C1)

 

Min/Max/Avg functions

Takes an arbitrary number of parameters and returns the highest/lowest of them

Min(C1, C2, C3, 4.0)

Max(C1, C2, C3, 4.0)

Avg(C1, C2, C3, 4.0)

 

Aggregations

C1.Max - C1.Min

If(C1.Count > 0, C1.Latest, -9999.0)

 

Get the 75th percentile value

C1.NthPercentile[75]

 

Get the number of exceedences over 400

C1.Exceedences[400]

 

Standard Deviation

C1.StdDev

 

Unit Conversion

Convert(C1, "ppb", "ppm")

ConvertMolecular(C1, "ppb", "µg/m³", "CO2")

ConvertMolecularTemp(C1, "ppb", "µg/m³", "CO2", 25.0)

 

Solar functions

SolarElevation(now, -37.8982076, 145.2455205)

SolarAzimuth(now, -37.8982076, 145.2455205)

SolarRad(now, -37.8982076, 145.2455205) / 1.1

 

Timer functions

Alternate between 0 and 1 on 5 second interval

(Now % 10) < 5

 

Get current hour of the day

Floor(LocalTime(Now) / 3600)

 

Get current minute of the hour

Floor((LocalTime(Now) % 3600) / 60)

 

Get current second of the minute

Now % 60
