In the Analog tab you can define the signals to be calculated. Proceed as follows:

  1. Enter a meaningful name for each signal in the Name column, which refers to the source vector and the calculated value type.

  2. In the Vector column select the desired vector signal. Only vector signals are offered, which have been defined in the Groups section of the I/O Manager.

  3. Define the range of vector elements supposed to be subject to calculation in the columns First index and Last index. There, you have different options:

    1. Select “First” and “Last”, if you want to include all vector elements in the calculation (default).

    2. Enter static index values (integer numbers from 0 to x), if you only want to process a part of the vector, i.e. apply the calculation beginning from and/or up to a specific vector element.

    3. Select analog signals which are dedicated to providing index values. Thus, the range of vector elements for calculation can be altered dynamically.

  4. Finally, select the requested calculation function in the Function column.

  5. Make sure, that the signals are set “active” and close the dialog with <OK>.

The following example explains the application of the module.
