6.- APPENDIX

6.1.- TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Many parts of the platform allow the inclusion of expressions or conditions.


To enter these there is a standard text control available accompanied by a help button that pro-
vides guidance for editing them.

Real numbers can be used in an expression or condition (in accordance with the IEEE 754-
1985 standard, where among other aspects, it stipulates that the decimal separator is the “.”
symbol), as well as parentheses (“(” and “)”), addition operators (“+”), subtraction operators (“-
“), multiplication operators (“*”), division operators (“/”) and exponential operators (“^”).

Thus, some valid examples would be:


2*(4.56^2)
1-(2.12-4)/2

The following mathematical functions can also be used, Table 6:

Table 6: Mathematical functions.


Mathematical functions
sqrt(exp) (1) Square root of the expression "exp".
log(exp) (2) Neperian logarithm of the expression “exp”.
exp(exp) Number “e” elevated to the expression “exp”.
sin(exp) Sine of the expression “exp” (in radiants).
cos(exp) Cosine of the expression “exp” (in radiants).
tan(exp) Tangent of the expression “exp” (in radiants).
(5) Arcsine of the expression “exp”.
asin(exp)
(5) Arccosine of the expression “exp”.
acos(exp)
atan(exp) (3) (5) Arctangent of the expression “exp”.
atan2(exp1, exp2) (4) (5) Extended arctangent of the expression “exp1/exp2”.
(2) Base 10 logarithm of the expression "exp".
log10(exp)
round(exp) Rounding to the nearest whole number of the expression “exp”.
trunc(exp) Truncation to a whole number of the expression “exp”.
(6) Returns the number PI (3.1415927…).
pi()
(6) Returns the number E (2.7182818…).
e()
mod(exp1, exp2) Returns the “exp2” module of the expression “exp1”.
max(exp1, exp2) Returns the maximum of the two expressions.
min(exp1, exp2) Returns the minimum of the two expressions.
abs(exp) Returns the absolute value of the expression “exp”.
rand() Returns a real random value between 0.0 and 1.0.
if(cond, exp1, exp2) Evaluates the condition “cond”. If the condition is true it returns
the expression "exp1", if false it returns the expression "exp2".
bit(exp1, exp2) Returns the value of the positioning bit "exp2" for the number
"exp1".
Returns the value obtained by placing the positioning bit "exp2"
setbit(exp1, exp2, exp3)
the value "exp3" to the number "exp1".
(1)
The square root function will return an error if the expression is negative.

Instruction Manual 99
Databox

(2)
The logarithmic functions ("log" and "log10") will return an error if the expression is less than or equal to zero.
(3)
The Arctangent function (“atan”) assesses a range that goes from -π/2 to π/2 and returns zero if the expression
is zero.
(4)
The extended Arctangent function ("atan2") assesses a range that goes from –π to π and returns zero if both
expressions are zero.
(5)
The Arcsine ("asin"), Arccosine ("acos"), Arctangent ("atan") and extended Arctangent ("atan2") functions return
the result in radiants.
(6)
The functions that return the number pi ("pi") and e ("e") have no parameters, so they can be used with or without
parentheses.

The functions are not case sensitive.


Examples of valid formulas are:
2*pi()-sqrt(10)
round(exp(2)+atan2(1.2)-e*pi)

It is also possible to use certain time functions, Table 7:


Table 7: Time functions.
Time functions
(1) Returns the second of the current date.
second()
(1) Returns the minute of the current date.
minute()
(2) Returns the hour of the current date.
hour()
day() (3) Returns the day of the current date.
month() (4) Returns the month of the current date.
year() Returns the year of the current date.

(1)
The "second" function returns a value between 0 and 59, just like the "minute" function.
(2)
The "hour" function returns a value between 0 and 23.
(3)
The "day" functions returns a value between 1 and 31.
(4)
The "month" function returns a value between 1 and 12.

The functions that do not contain parameters can be used with or without brackets.
