Creating Expressions with the Formula Object
The Formula object can be used to write mathematical
expressions in VEE. The variables in the expression are the data
input pin names or global variables. The result of the evaluation
of the expression will be put on the data output pin.
Figure 115 shows a Formula object. The input field for the
expression is in the center of the object. A default
expression
(2*A+3) indicates where to enter the formula. Just
double- click the field to type in a different expression.
The Formula box is an Rich Text Format box and you can
use standard editing commands to edit expressions in a
Formula. For example, you can drag the mouse to highlight
characters, use Ctrl-C for copying the characters, Ctrl-V
for pasting, and Ctrl-X for deleting as well as using End,
Insert, Delete, Backspace, etc.

NOTE
You can type in a Formula expression on more than one line. If a Formula
expression contains a Return, it is interpreted as a multi-line single
expression. If a Formula contains statements separated by semi-colons (;),
they are interpreted as multiple expressions in the Formula.
