Evaluating an Expression with the Formula Object
In this example, you will evaluate the expression, 2*A^6-B,
where A=2 and B=1. (Notice the ^ sign for exponentiation.)
1 Select Device ⇒ Formula. Click the Formula input field and
type 2*A^6-B.
2 Place the mouse pointer over the data input area (but not
right over the A input) and press Ctrl-A to add an input
pin.
3 Select Data ⇒ Constant ⇒ Int32, clone it by selecting Clone
from the object menu, and connect the two Int32 objects to
the Formula inputs A and B.
4 Enter 2 in the A Int32 input box and 1 in the B Int32 input box.
5 Select Display ⇒ AlphaNumeric and connect it to the output of
Formula, and run the program. It should display the result
127, as shown in
Figure 116.
NOTE
All the functions created from the Devices ⇒ Function & Object Browser

appropriately. They can be modified to combine functions and add (or
delete) inputs. You can also do multiple-line entry in the Formula object,
and assign values to output terminals.
NOTE
The variable names are not case-sensitive.
NOTE
It will be labeled B by default, but you can rename it.
